Book Reviews of Purple Mountain Majesties (Reading Railroad Books)

Book Review: This book doesn't teach the song "America the Beautiful"
Summary: 4 Stars

This is a beautiful book with amazing illustrations which give added meaning to the words to "America the Beautiful" and some history on how it was written. My disappointment with the book was that it did not include the words to the song only excerpts here and there. So, this book is better suited to a reader who already knows the song. My primary school age child doesn't know the song yet so it was a teachable moment, but an older child would appreciate it more.
