Reviews

  • "If we want the next generation to be able to articulate their gratitude for the American heritage, it’s going to be up to their parents to teach them about it. (The schools? Fuhgeddaboudit.) There’s a great deal of useful advice on this in How to Raise an American: 1776 Fun and Easy Tools, Tips, and Activities to Help Your Child Love This Country (Crown Forum, 320 pp., $22.95), by Myrna Blyth and Chriss Winston." ----Michael Poterma, National Review

Tip of the Day: Hometown Flag

Learn about your own home town’s government.  Take your kids--along with a couple of their friends for a tour of City Hall.    If you call ahead, and the group is large enough, you may get a special tour by an elected official and even a chance to meet the Mayor or Town Manager.    Have the kids say thank-you by designing a flag for the town.  They can find out how on www.nava.org.   Bet the local paper would write a story about the visit and publish a picture of the flag they create.
