Bibliographic Citation: Berlin, Irving. God Bless America. Illustrated by Lynn Mussinger. HarperCollins, 2002. 22 pages. ISBN: 978-1422354926.
Format: Hardcover
Age Group: Ages 3-4 Years
Annotation: A classic, patriotic song is written and illustrated.
Reflection: Irving Berlin’s classic song is made into an illustrated sing-along picture book that shows a bear family taking a road trip across America. The bears are shown visiting various locations that are described in the songs, “from the mountains, to the prairies.” At the end of the book, the bear family is at a famous American icon, the Statue of Liberty. The books ends with “my home sweet home” with the bears at home with the American flag raised to show their patriotism. This book would be appropriate for American holidays like 4th of July and other patriotic events.
