A book that you'll love!, 2007-10-02
The history, meaning and importance of our American flag is presented for young readers in rhyme with magnificent illustrations that will be sure to inspire. At the bottom of every page is more historical data, such as the planting of a flag on the moon six times for each Apollo mission, the meaning of our colors, and the myths surrounding the making of our first flag.
How nice to see a patriotic message that entertains and inspires.

Beautiful, patriotic, and informative, 2005-05-05
This beautiful book opens with Muñoz's first inspiring verse:
Our flag is our country's symbol
Of ideals that are meant to last
It's a promise for our future
A reminder of our past....
The accompanying illustration by Ralph Masiello shows a freshly whitewashed barn with an American flag gracing one side. A farmer's furrowed field, a vast blue sky and bucolic setting complete the scene. Each page that follows presents another verse, accompanying illustration, and a text box that imparts a piece of our flag's history to the reader. The book is stunning to look at, informative and heartwarming to read. It is a good introduction to youngsters about how our flag came to be, how it's changed over the years, and its meaning to us as citizens.

Terrific illustrations, great information, 2003-08-04
This book is a great way to teach children about the Amnerican flag through rhyme and pictures. You can focus primarily on the rhymes for younger children and then focus on the factual information given as a sidebar on each page for older children. Wonderful resource!

My Favorite Pam Munoz Ryan is The Flag We Love. I love this book because it has beautiful pictures and they are so realistic. It's about all the historic things that have happened in the past and one thing cool about it is that it has a flag in every picture. I like this book because it reminds you about all the historic stuff in the past. So I hope you will get to read this cool book and I'm almost positive that you will.

In the Flag we Love I like how the children wave their flags and start parading. I also like how the book was told like how at the top they were rhyming and at the bottom they were telling the history about it. I think the cover looks fascinating!
