Reviews

Goodreads review by Remy on January 14, 2023

I don't like how the beginning of the book is paced and the words are hard to read (white/cream on a dark background). Otherwise, it's a decent explanation of the Star Spangled Banner and when/why it was written. Not the best picture book, but not bad either.......more

Goodreads review by Trae on February 13, 2017

Nice origin story of the National Anthem. Perfectly suited for middle school kids to use as a reference for a book report.......more

Goodreads review by Sharie on January 13, 2016

Nice history of where our national anthem came from. I learned more about war of 1812...who knew? Surprised that 'tune' is based upon British song.......more
