The Star-Spangled Banner (Reading Rainbow Books)

by Peter Spier Author

(From Amazon): Due to careful research, Spier's artwork depicts "the dawn's early light" and "the rocket's red glare" with remarkable authenticity and detail in this celebratory book. Among the highlights: a brief history of the anthem, a reproduction of Francis Scott Key's original manuscript, music for guitar and piano chords and many photographs.A Child Study Children's Book Committee: Children's Book of the Year, An American Bookseller Pick of the Lists. Recommend listening to a recording of The Star-Spangled Banner while reading the book.
