Looking for a fun way to add to the July 4th festivities?
A Scavenger Hunt is a great way to get moving, stay entertained, and spot bits of July 4th fun along the way!
We always look for fun books to go along with the holiday that we're celebrating!
Here are a few books to enjoy with your young reader that connect with
July 4th and the United States!
by Marjorie Priceman
In How to Make a Cherry Pie and See the U.S.A., a young baker and her dog travel around America to gather materials in order to make her baking tools!
From a riverboat, to train, to taxi and plane, the reader gets to see where our natural resources come from and enjoy the various modes of transportation to get there!
A fabulous book from a two-time Caldecott Honor illustrator, How to Make a Cherry Pie and See the U.S.A is guaranteed to be a holiday hit!
2. The American Girl Felicity books
The American Girl books are fabulous choices for learning about American history. The Felicity stories make a perfect addition to your reader's July 4th bookshelf!
Feisty Felicity is growing up in Colonial America, and while she's expected to be a lady, Felicity loves horses more than sewing and tea parties!
Between helping a horse in need of rescue from it's owner, hearing whispers of a revolution, and having friends on both sides of the cause, Felicity's adventures will send readers back in time and racing through her story!

Perfect for Independence Day and great for any young reader's bookshelf, Adéle & Simon in America by Barbara McClintock is another great picture book that is perfect to read and one of our very favorites!
This brother and sister duo are visiting their Aunt Cecile in America and she takes them on a summer-long excursion to see the sights of America!
Gorgeous illustrations, additional fun facts at the end of the book along with an I-Spy incorporated make Adéle & Simon in America a book that your young reader will love reading again and again!!

Our third book to include was one that we found years ago in the library! Apple Pie 4th of July is a fabulously illustrated picture book filled with food, fireworks and family!
When her parents insist on selling their regular Chinese fare on July 4th, their daughter tries to convince them to go along with the holiday like everybody else!
By the end of the night, however, she realizes that there are all kinds of ways to celebrate the Fourth of July in this festive and sweet holiday tale!
P.S. You'll definitely be wanting some Chinese food and apple pie by the end of the book!
We were inspired by Apple Pie Fourth of July to make this a tradition and have Chinese food and apple pie for many years!
The backer and husband/father of this blogging duo is from China and was very happy to enjoy both Chinese take-out and his favorite dessert!
