Betsy Ross

This book is very informational. I did not know of her background, only that she was responsible for making our country's flag. I think that children would be surprised, just as I was, to learn of her history.

A great teacher resource.

This book is an excellent source for teachers to use with any grade level! The author entices the reader with interesting information about Betsy Ross. While telling the story of the wonderful woman who sewed the first American flag, the author keeps the attention of readers with great illustrations. This book can also be used to teach the history of the American flag.
