(4) K-3 Lyrics by George M. Cohan. Fourteen Norman Rockwell paintings illustrate lines from the stirring song. An introduction by Rockwell's grandson places the artwork in historical context. The clean design is appealing, but overly large font distracts the eye. Appended thumbnails of the paintings provide titles and dates. The volume is more a patriotic paean to America and Rockwell's art than it is a children's book.
