Reviews:
"Strike up the band and prepare to salute--this patriotic picture book unabashedly celebrates the Stars and Stripes. In a series of earnest verses, Ryan...introduces young readers to our national symbol and the ideals for which it stands...while prose inserts offer historical tidbits in a sidebar format....The result should delight Yankee Doodle dandies everywhere, and could help spark discussion on the basic elements of democracy."
Publishers Weekly, February 5, 1996
