Looking for a Fourth of July Book for kids to mark the Independence Day Holiday?
For a quick and familiar read, pick up The Night Before the Fourth of July! This book was written by Natasha Wing and illustrated by Amy Wummer and follows the rhythm and rhyme of the classic poem A Visit from St. Nicholas by Clement Clarke Moore.
The book is a short and sweet celebration of our bright and sparkly holiday and all the types of things a child might typically see in a July 4th celebration — like fireworks; red, white and blue decor; Uncle Sam (on stilts!), good food, and great friends.
This isn’t a book that delves into our country or its history but it is a great book to get kids in the mood to celebrate the holiday… in other words, to get the party started 🙂
