Wonderfully written by Dalgliesh and beautifully illustrated by Marie Nonnast, The 4th of July Story makes a lovely introduction, both to the significance of America's Independence Day and to the history of the American Revolution, for beginning readers. As mentioned, it is text heavy for a picture-book, and could almost be considered an illustrated short story. Of course, younger children with a longer attention span could also benefit from having this read to them. I appreciated the fact that Dalgliesh gave just enough background information to situate her main story - a narrative explaining the significance of the 4th of July - but didn't get bogged down in lots of details about the related subjects of Colonial America's conflict with Britain, the Continental Congress, and the American Revolution, thereby distracting the reader. As she mentions in her brief author's note, this is a big story, and hopefully readers will investigate other aspects of it as they grow older. Recommended to anyone looking for a children's book addressing the historical significance of the 4th of July. ( )
