Having learned my lesson last month, for this month’s U.S. history books covering 1925-1975 I brought home just five titles. And they are:
- Sara’s City, by Sue Alexander and illustrated by Ronald Himler
- Pearl Harbor, by Stephen Krensky and illustrated by Larry Day
- World War II Days: Discover the Past with Exciting Projects, Games, Activities, and Recipes, by David C. King
- Mercedes and the Chocolate Pilot: A True Story of the Berlin Airlift and the Candy that Dropped from the Sky, by Margot Theis Raven and illustrated by Gijsbert van Frankenhuyzen
- Miss Lady Bird’s Wildflowers: How a First Lady Changed America, by Kathi Appelt and illustrated by Joy Fisher Hein

Here are links to my previous posts on U.S. history reading, which is my main contribution to the homeschooling of my two sons. I always welcome your suggestions for new titles and older books I’ve overlooked.

Hooray for Mercedes and the Chocolate Pilot. I had the great honor of hosting Gail Halvorsen at my library a few years ago when the book was on the Bluebonnet list. I truly felt as if I was in the presence of someone who has been touched by “grace.” He has an aura of goodness and kindness. I will never forget him.
