Books to Celebrate the 4th of July

I did a previous blog encouraging themed browsing boxes at home.  I love playing librarian to my daughter and creating a collection of holiday books for her learn about, enjoy, and celebrate the season.  I recently put together a browsing box full of books about the 4^th of July.  I packed it full of patriot items including red, white, and blue beads, star-shaped sunglasses, and a little American Flag.  Every year she loves to read books about our country’s independence day and celebrate this special time of year.  Below is a list of books about the 4^th of July for you to create your own themed browsing box at home.  Happy reading and Happy Independence Day!
