Review of a Great History Book

I was given a complimentary copy of the book The American Patriot's Almanac by William J Bennett and John T.E. Cribb, by booksneeze.com.  This book is layed out in a fabulous form.  It's chapters go by month and the days in each month.  Each day has a few paragraphs on a certain event in history that happened on that day as well as a few other facts in year order at the bottom.  Also included in the book are the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, Bill of Rights, the Gettysburg Address and the Emancipation Proclamation.  It contains facts on all of the states and songs and poems of American Patriotism. 

I was able to learn so many new facts that I never would have unless I read quite a few books.  The way this is written makes it either a great book to read cover to cover or as a book to use as a reference tool at any time.  I can't wait to share all of the facts with my children at different times during the year while we are learning different things about our country.

While I was given this book to review, the opinions expressed here are my own and were not influenced by anyone.
