Review
This is a non-fiction picture book that is age appropriate for the intended audience. It is well written with good information that is well articulated with examples where needed, such as what is a mascot. It is set in a classroom with a teacher explaining why a bald eagle is an American mascot. A live eagle visits the classroom as part of the lesson. Nice illustrations that go well with the text and add to the information. Additional information is included where needed on purple flag shaped sidebars. There are three chapters, a Table of Contents, an activity, Glossary, To Learn More section and an Index. Good information on the topic in 24 pages.
Overall Book Score: very good
