Illustrated by
Judith Hierstein.
Brief descriptive paragraphs for each letter of the alphabet piece together the story of America's fight for independence. Familiar elements are included (C for colonies, E for England) as are lesser-known historic events and personalities (K for Battle of the Kegs, Z for Betty Zane). The accompanying illustrations are more adept at depicting landscapes than people.

Postcards from Washington D.C. / Postales desde Washington D.C.: Traveling with Anna / De viaje con Ana
(4)
K-3
During her vacation in Washington, DC, young Anna sends back postcards to her family and friends. Each double-page spread contains perky spot art, a photograph of a tourist attraction, Anna's postcard with information about the attraction, and three random facts, which are also translated into Spanish. The gimmicky framework may catch readers' attention.
