Stories of Great Americans for Little Americans (Illustrated)

Edward Eggleston teaches American history in the best way possible for children: with 52 imaginative stories of great Americans. Eggleston’s stories, which bring the people and the times they lived in to life, also encourage American children to be proud of their country. Written to give hours of reading pleasure, Eggleston’s 52 stories tell about war heroes, statesmen, explorers, inventors, writers, artists, scientists, and just plain ordinary people who made a difference. The lives of these men and women wonderfully illustrate the virtues children need to emulate in order to be happy and successful adults.
