  Absolutely beautiful!
  Each phrase of the first verse of the titular song is illustrated with intricate pop-up artwork depicting familiar places around the country: the Golden Gate Bridge, the great plains, Mount Rushmore, Mesa Verde, the Mississippi River, scenes from DC, and finally the Statue of Liberty.
  The last page layout includes a mini book with all the verses to the song, and each of those pages is decorated with a mini pop-up! What a fun surprise! My favorites of those ones are the Liberty Bell and the bald eagle.
  This is a great book to add to any patriotic collection.

  Such beautiful pop-ups and following along with the song is great. I would use this in my classroom in my library for a free-time read because of the pop-ups.

  I absolutely loved this book! One of the most beautiful pop-up books that I have ever read. It shows some of the most remarkable sights in America and you can sing along to "America the Beautiful as you look at the pictures.

  This was a beautiful book about different areas of America. This would be interesting for all ages k-5 grade. I would allow students to look at this book during silent reading time.

  I love almost every Sabuda pop-up book but this one is my favorite. They once had a special exhibit downtown and I'm so glad I went. What amazing detail and thought.

  Yet another beautiful book from Robert Sabuda. This is not a book to have around to read - this is a book to have around to admire.

  A visually appealing book for students who are learning about the United States. From social studies and map skills, this is a great attention-getter!

  These pop-ups are all plain white paper, and are unbelievably intricate.

  A fantastic pop-up book that can't belong on library shelves due to it's frailness, but perfect for the older kids and PJ story time.

  Found a copy in wonderful condition at the used book store, but it was too late to use for Veterans Day. I'll probably pull it out for Presidents Day.

  Robert Sabuda is one of the best pop-up artists out there. I especially love the Golden Gate Bridge. A perfect book for people who love America.

  Sabuda's paper constructions are simply amazing. This one illustrates the lyrics of America the Beautiful.

  A true masterpiece of pop-up art. The subtlety of the white forms makes this all the more impressive.

  This pop-up book would/is a great way to introduce the song "America the Beautiful" to small children.
