YOu can get the first volume of Mara Pratt for free online, BTW. Besides, you also don’t have to purchase all 4 of the MAra Pratt at one time. You can look at them at Yesterday’s Classics.
Other than that, books by Cheryl Harness, Jean Fritz, Alice Dalgliesh (“America Begins”) Robert Syme, Barbera Schiller and James Knight are all good picture, history books that are easily found at the library or cheaply used at Amazon. There’s also books by Sam Fink; he illustrates vividly the Declaration, the Constitution and The Gettysburg Adress, though these may be better for 2nd and up. Lastly, Faith KNoop has both American and World History books. Some of the LAndmark books may be age-appropriate. I found the Stories of the Pilgrims to be over my children’s heads when they were 6/7. ALso, check your library for the Nest videos of some of our Founders, called Animated Heroes Classics. May I also recommend William Bennett’s “A Children’s Book of America”; his compilations are very valuable. The “Kids throughout History Series” and the LAurie Carlson series for activities.
Depending on your dd’s reading ability, she may be intersted in the Childhood of Famous Americans Series as well as Lynne Cheney’s books for children.
