Sometimes we suggest a book that has many excellent qualities, but does have references that are mildly or even highly offensive. We want you to know ahead of time what those are so that you can choose whether you are okay with your child reading the book on his or her own, whether you want to read the book aloud to your children, or whether you want to forego the book altogether. Following are specific pages we want you to be aware of ahead of time. Often a writer uses certain words in order to show how hurtful those words are and to make a strong contrast between good and evil. Attitudes, customs, and what people see as acceptable and unacceptable change over time. It is easy for us to look back and make harsh judgments on people of the past, just as it will be easy for people in the future to do the same when they see what we have done or not done. In some ways, we can’t hold people in the past accountable for today’s values because they simply did not know what we know now. However, sometimes seeing bad attitudes and actions in a book helps us to see how harmful they are and encourages us to make changes in our own lives so that we do not do the same things ourselves.

    www.singalongwithsusieq.com The Star-Spangled Banner Oh, say, can you see By the dawn's early light What so proudly we hailed At the twilight's last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars Through the perilous fight O'er the ramparts we watched Were so gallantly streaming. And the rockets' red glare The bombs bursting in air Gave proof through the night That our flag was still there. O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. 2 America the Beautiful O beautiful for spacious skies For amber waves of grain For purple mountain majesties Above thy fruited plain! America! America! God shed His grace on thee And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea! O beautiful for pilgrim’s feet Whose stern impassioned stress A thoroughfare of freedom beat Across the wilderness! America! America! God mend thine every flaw Confirm thy soul in self-control Thy liberty in law! O beautiful for heroes proved In liberating strife Who more than self their country loved And mercy more than life! America! America! May God thy gold refine Till all success be nobleness And every gain divine! 3 O beautiful for patriot dream That sees beyond the years Thine alabaster cities gleam Undimmed by human tears! America! America! God shed His grace on thee And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea! Repeat last 4 lines 4 You’re A Grand Old Flag You're a grand old flag You're a high-flying flag And forever in peace may you wave You're the emblem of The land I love The home of the free and the brave Every heart beats true Under red, white and blue Where there's never a boast or brag But should old acquaintance be forgot Keep your eye on the grand old flag.
