The book show everyone in the United States and their experience and the history.

Use this poetry anthology when teaching American history. ( )

I like how Katz divides the US into 8 different regions. Each region contains a map, facts about the states and 7 or 8 poems. In this way, children can compare the poems to particular areas of the country and what was going on in these areas at certain times. The illustrations combine actual photographs with watercolor and help to enhance the poetry. This is a must read collection of poems for any student. A teacher should have this in her classroom and use these poems for every time period in American History. They will help the child to better understand how the people were feeling during those time periods. ( )
