My Thoughts
If you are looking for a new reference book or textbook for American history? Look no further! This beautiful book is like one-stop-shopping for information about our great nation. Of course there are the basics like early settlers, The American Revolution, civil rights and the presidents. But more recent events such as the attacks on September 11 and the election of the first black president are also included.
Then there are the lesser known facts. For example do you know who is on the $100,000 bill? Give up? It's Woodrow Wilson. Sliced bread was invented in 1928 and Lebron James is pretty much recognized by most of the planet.
As you would expect from TIME, there are amazing original photographs to accompany the information.
Awesome America would make a wonderful addition to any family, school or classroom library.
