Alternate Literature
If you choose not to use one or more of these titles, check out the following list of books we compiled during the development of Uncle Sam and You. These books have not been reviewed by Notgrass History for appropriate content, so this is not a list of books that we endorse. Not all will be appropriate for all ages. Books on this list range from elementary to adult. Please review all materials before giving them to your student.
