Boom go the fireworks! Emergent readers will have a blast with this low-level search-and-find book about Independence Day. The Fourth of July is full of picnics, parades, and the colors red, white, and blue. Early readers will learn about the symbols and traditions of America’s birthday and why we celebrate it on July 4th. A search-and-find feature reinforces key vocabulary about the holiday. Picture prompts and an ending quiz build new vocabulary and create a successful foundation for reading.
