STAR SPANGLED ADVENTURES is an animated series for the youngest of history buffs. Liberty the Eagle narrates 13 key events in American history, from Christopher Co-lumbus to Pearl Harbor. Kooky interactions between famous figures and fun, campy songs highlight how faith and freedom have guided the United States from the New World to world superpower. The program tackles difficult themes like religious freedom, slavery, newspaper propaganda, and World Wars and packages them in a way that’s sim-ple to digest and age-appropriate.

STAR SPANGLED ADVENTURES is sure to have small children eager to learn more about the USA and to believe emphatically in the role of God’s Providence in keeping America free. Capturing history in a preschool-oriented medium is no easy feat, and Writer Jeff Holder and Director Robert F. Arvin have done just that. The program does erase some of the nuance of historical events and simplify the more debatable subjects, which might be covered in an adult-oriented program. However, in this case, it makes STAR SPANGLED ADVENTURES the perfect first step into the study of history for very young viewers.
