American History: fresh squeezed, by Carol Diggory Shields and Richard Thompson, is a hilarious, attention drawing book filled with poems about American history. The history starts with dinosaurs and pioneers and ends with our Statue of Liberty. The short poems are funny, attention grabbing, fun, and fact packed about basic American history! Carol Shields and Richard Thompson are able to turn information from a boring history textbook into a short book that intrigue all ages to reread the book over and over. American History: fresh squeezed, is a perfect book for kids who are bored of textbooks!

American History: fresh squeezed, gave me a refreshing new look to American history. I think this book is perfect for kids who are just starting to learn about the backstory to America. My family and I read this book together and loved it. Another kid-friendly feature about this book is that some of the poems have a fun lyric that you feel you need to recite it out loud! The basic history of America, poetry edition!
