America the Beautiful

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Wendell Minor. All four verses of the beloved song are presented in this well-designed book. Minor's watercolor and gouache illustrations showcase both America's natural beauty (Niagara Falls, Yellowstone National Park) and human-made monuments, including the "Tribute in Light" memorial at the World Trade Center site. One-page biographies of Bates and Samuel Augustus Ward, who wrote the song's music, conclude the book.
