America's White Table Hardcover – Picture Book, May 1, 2005

Very well written! Educational and a must read!

Is a honorable veteran, I knew of the white table but had not heard of this book. Now have read it I will start reading it to my grandkids annual. To instill in then the meaning of American service and dedication , and the meaning of these holidays

This book is a must have for teaching our children about the sacrifices some of our military and veterans have done to preserve e our freedom. Loved the story!

I love this book about remembering our POW’s who did not come home from wars. As a member of the American Legion Auxilliary it is important young children understand what occurs when one is lost or missing. Beautifully written and illustrated. Presented a copy to our local library

Written for younger audiences but suitable for all adults. For those who have no military experience is a good reference.

This book is a must have for anytime, but especially Veteran’s Day. The story-within-a-story, flashback scenes, and explanation of WHY each element is placed on the soldier’s table is so beautiful. The first time I read it, I had so many emotions running through my mind. Any teacher 3rd-6th grade who needs a fantastic mentor text…look into this book for sure.

Every American should read this book! Everyone should understand the sacrifices our military, especially our POW’s make for our country. In the book it explains why we have the small white table set alone in military homes, VFW’s and bases around the world. It continues to explain what each item represents. Yes this is a young adult book, maybe 4th grade level. Yet I still believe so many Americans don’t know and need to know!

I ordered this book for a teacher who still reads to her 4th grade class. Since the school cancelled its Veteran's Day program, she wanted the kids to at least be aware of the importance of recognizing our veterans and the significance of the day. I was unaware of this tradition and glad I was able to least bring a little bit of acknowledgment to why the day is celebrated. Hopefully, the kids will now know why too!
