We have a family; a typical American family (Portrayed as a family of dogs in this work), taking a road trip across America. The visit the White House, a farm, Mount Rushmo. Scottm said Great gift, great fun and loads of information.. This book combines a great song with tons of interactive features along with additional text that will be a great education for your child. Either sing along with the lyrics or follow all the great information tucked away under flaps. Something you can come back to time and again. Really fun book and a great tribute to the Woody Guthrie song.. ??? said Charming. My two year old, husband and I love this song and sing it around the house and while traveling. This version is worth exploring in the music classroom as well, especially if paired with "This Land is Your Land" illustrated by Kathy Jakobsen. There are several facts about the United States and about Woody Guthrie in this book and I imagine it will grow with our family.
