Books are a great way to teach children about our Patriotic duties as well as American History.  Below are charming and educational books which are family favorites.  I am so excited to share 20 Patriotic Books for Children with you!

I am admittedly a history buff and all but two of my six children are as well, so it was with their help that we compiled this list of books (and a couple of DVD’s) for all ages.  There are books here for toddlers through 18-year-olds.  All are well written and tell the gripping story of America with excellence and truth.  These books are sure to INSPIRE the WHOLE FAMILY!

John Adams

* This DVD is excellent but we recommend you preview before showing it to your children.  There are two parts to this meaningful series that we skip.  We do no watch the scene where a man is tarred and feathered and later in the series, there is a scene where John Adam’s daughter has surgery for breast cancer.   With the exception of these two parts we HIGHLY RECOMMEND this DVD series!

 

 

Sam the Minuteman 

(Early Elementary School)

 

All reading level recommendations are flexible.  They are just suggestions.  I encourage you to change things up a bit.  Use books as family read-a-loud or if you have an advanced reader move them up a few grade levels.

 

Happy Reading!

  1. UNbroken is a great book too. It’s about an Olympic runner fighting in WW2 and his life after the war.
