I Pledge Allegiance

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Chris Raschka. The patriotic oath mumbled unthinkingly everyday by countless schoolchildren is here deconstructed line by line to help pledgers become aware of what they are saying (e.g., "A pledge is a promise. / Allegiance is loyalty"). Dominated by red, white, and blue, Raschka's energetic, doodle-like painted forms and torn construction-paper collages make the authors' straightforward explanations all the more accessible.
