I mainly asked for this book to see if it would work with my curriculum because I home school and I can assure you that it will! It's a beautiful book with a lot of great information, lots that I didn't even know, and it's easy enough that the kids could read and be engaged with it too. This could be an incredibly helpful teaching tool. 5 out of 5 stars. ( )

Raise the Flag by Clive Gifford

A wonderful colorful educational book filled with information about facts, trivia and stories about flags. I found the pages fun to look at and intriguing to read. I can see using this with children for background and also to create new flags at any time.

I remember trying to use flags on a soccer/football field as a linesman and it was difficult to remember which way to lift it for the referee to know which team should have the ball. I looked at the semaphore information for alphabet use and decided that would take a great deal of time and effort to become proficient in. I enjoyed the bits of history that were tucked in here and there and actually learned a few terms and what they meant as I made my way from cover to cover.

Even though flags change from time to time this would definitely make a wonderful gift for a child or teacher.

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing-QEB for the ARC – This is my honest review.
