America the Beautiful is one long poem stretched throughout the book that is the song America the Beautiful. The book has a lot of really cool features for readers to enjoy. The illustrations go along with the poem and paint a visual picture for readers that go along with that stanza of the poem. Each picture comes from a location of the United States and in the back of the book it tells readers where each picture came from and a little blurb about the place. There was also a map that showed where the places the pictures came from. It also talked about the author of the song and showed an original copy from when it was written. I really liked this book.
I would use this book to teach about American history. We would talk about the author of the song and why it was written. I would also use the map to teach students about maps and map making. Then we would talk about the different places and their importance. This book is a great book because it can teach students many different things about American history.
