4.0

I picked this one up to read four 4th of July story time simply because we do not have a lot of 4th of July books at our library. I justified it by saying, "well, because of the American Revolution we celebrate the 4th of July, so it works." The book itself, the cover, the illustrations were not appealing to me (though a very clever idea to make all the illustrations look like gingerbread people and things). I was expecting this to be boring and as ancient as the book looked, but I had to use what was available.

I'm a history nerd, so in the end I actually really liked this, though I did find the historical note at the end actually more interesting than the rest of the book. But I was pleasantly surprised by this and really happy I chose to read it for story time.
