Fourth of July Mice
is a perfect book for celebrating the fun of the fourth. In this story, a mouse family partakes in a parade, a picnic, a swim, and of course, a fireworks show!Currently, my son is obsessed with fireworks, so I wanted to find some books on that topic.
Corduroy's Fourth of July (Corduroy (Board Book))
In this story, Corduroy and his friends participate in the fourth of July festivities... and take in a firework show. I like that Tyson (age 17 mo) can handle this nice board book and point to the flags and the fireworks. Thanks to A Mommy's Adventures for the book suggestion. My boys also love parades. Last year, we found this super fun book idea from JDaniel4's mom.
Grandma Drove the Garbage Truck
In this story, Grandma has to fill in for her sick sons on the Fourth of July. She drives the truck around town, picking up balloons and roses and other items as she goes. She inadvertently decorates her truck and drives into the Fourth of July parade! The fourth of July is also a fun way to sneak in some learning. These books should help my boys learn about our country, our flag, and our pledge to the flag.
Pledge Of Allegiance 2001
The text is the pledge as written by Francis Bellamy. However, each page features on phrase of the pledge along with beautiful photos depicting that phrase.
The Story of America's Birthday
Patricia Pingry is a go to author for holiday themes. This sturdy board book does a great job of introducing the story of Indepdence Day in a simple way.
F is for Flag
is a perfect pick for flag day (June 14th) but it also works great for Independence Day. This story teaches not just about the physical flag, but about what it symbolizes-- unity, family, and our country.(Thanks Nursery Rhymes and Fun Times for the suggestion).I'm way behind this week due to a fun, fun wedding weekend with my brother-in-law and brand new sister-in-law but I'm going to go ahead and link this up at some of my favorite book sharing sites this week. (I don't think they'll mind if I'm a few days late!)
We're always looking for great books to enjoy? Do you have a favorite Fourth of July or fireworks book? Please share!
