If I left your favorite 4th of July book of the list, please leave me a comment sharing it with me.
I had no idea there were so many 4th of July books. Even though my kids are only 13 and 9, I am always surprised and pleased to see how children’s literature just keeps growing and getting better and better! (It’s the same with books for kids of all levels, even teen reading. It’s just wonderful!) –Lisa
