(4) K-3 Illustrated by Harry Burman. This text features short, simple sentences that are sometimes a bit choppy but are easy to read. Key's mission to secure a prisoner's release from a British ship in Baltimore harbor during the War of 1812 and his view of the victorious U.S. flag at Fort McHenry the next morning are illustrated with detailed, realistic paintings. The music is included at the back.
