Format: Hardcover

My 5 nieces and nephews have loved following Ellis the Elephant in Gingrich's first two books, so there was no question that they would each get a copy of the newest one from their favorite aunt! At a time when our children's understanding of American history and the principles upon which our country was built is more important than ever, these books teach as much as they entertain. I hope the series will continue!

Format: sHardcover

I love that Callista Gingrich has taken the time to write American history for children. I read these books to my nieces and nephews when we are together and they love to hear the story. It great because it gives us a way to open up the conversation about the greatness of our America, and why we are here. We love to follow the "eagle" at the turn of every page, and the art is patriotic, whimsey, yet not too childish.



Educational: I am reminded of great historical moments, which I end up later google-ing to learn more about the moment.

Entertaining: Ellis is a sweet elephant who walks through history with us.

Enriching: We add layers of information to our children, its never to early to begin the process of learning of tangible historical facts.



For parents or grandparents, its a great gift to the younger generation...and you will ENJOY the time reading this book to them.
