Kids Learn America by Patricia Gordon and Reed C. Snow, published by Williamson Publishing Co, Vermont. The authors of this wonderful book says it brings geography to life with people, places and history and it surely does that. It's a terrific way for kids to learn about this wonderful country we call home. Trivia buffs will adore it too!

Cut a two inch by twelve inch piece of blue construction paper. Add stars across the strip using stickers or stars punched out of white paper using a large paper punch available at craft stores.
Cut a piece of white construction paper in half lengthwise. Measure and mark the paper about every inch, three quarters of the way through, from the long side.

Color alternating strips red.
Attach the two pieces together to form one long piece.
