 The spirit of 1776 comes alive as children learn about the signing of the Declaration of Independence and witness the events preceding it, such as Paul Revere's famous ride through Concord and a historical reenactment of the colonial era. Children discover why America celebrates the Fourth of July through footage of immigrants arriving at Ellis Island and an introduction to the ideas of liberty and freedom. A fifer and a drummer perform, and children also learn how to create a tri-corner hat of their own. Part of the Holidays for Children Video Series. A teacher's guide is included and is available online. |
"  ... this long-awaited video series which introduces children to holidays in America and around the globe is highly recommended." - Video Librarian (Jan/Feb 1995)"The series explores and explains the symbols, customs, rituals and folklore underlying our major holidays...Public and school library collections will be enhanced by this contemporary look at these celebrations...an excellent introduction for young children." - School Library Journal (Feb 1995) "...this series recognizes the spiritual roots and secular customs of each notable observance. These are welcome videos that don't revisit the well-trod paths of other holiday titles." - Booklist (March 1, 1995)
