PS: Did you notice that I didn’t pick a favorite book from this week’s giveaway? I couldn’t do it; I love them all!
Light in the Darkness would be a great read.
John, Paul, George and Ben looks interesting!
Soldier’s Song would be my first pick…lately there seems to be a lot of revisionist history in children’s books, so this one seems the safest…not promoting some agenda.
I haven’t read any of these, so I’m interested in all three!
A Soldier’s Song – Veterans’ Day is almost here!
Soldier Song looks really interesting, especially since there are not many picture books for kids about the Civil War.
John, Paul, George and Ben looks like it would go great with President’s Day activities.
Soldier song sounds like it will be interesting and filled with stories and facts from soldiers. And a good pick since veterans day is near.
Even though these are above my kindergarten reading level, I would love to have John, Paul, George and Ben in our library for the other students to enjoy.
I would say Light in the Darkness. I have not read any of them, but for some reason this one draws me in.
Soldier Song
Light in the Darkness sounds interesting to me. I have not read any of them but this caould have a number of possibilities for the meaning.
John, Paul, George and Ben would be a big hit in our classroom library!
Who could choose just one ….? I think they all sound amazing
Soldier Sing looks like an interesting read.
Soldier Song…I think this would be an interesting read on a child’s level about the Civil War.
Soldier Song
Light in the Darkness!!
Light in the Darkness looks like a great read!
John Paul George and Ben would be my choice
Light in the darkness draws me in. Perfect title!
Soldiers Song please
I think my students would like any of those! Light in the Darkness or Soldier Song look particularly interesting!
I would love to share Light in the Darkness with my students to illustrate how important learning is to the human experience.
John, Paul, George, and Ben
John, Paul, George,and Ben would very interesting to me. Early American history interest me, so this looks like a good read.
Light in the Darkness looks so interesting!
Light in the Darkness would be my pick from the 3. It just sounds like a great book!! 🙂
