B is for Big Ben, An England Alphabet

---

People living in North America owe much of their heritage, culture, and even style of living to England. In B is for Big Ben: An England Alphabet, young readers are given an armchair tour of a country that may be small in size (smaller than the state of New York!) but a giant in history, achievement, and influence.rnOf course, everyone has heard about England's famous kings and queens, and castles and monuments. But did you know that many of our everyday conveniences started as British ideas? George Stephenson built the first steam-driven train in 1825. Charles Babbage designed the first calculating machine in the nineteenth century. And guess what contribution came from the Earl of Sandwich?rnRenowned British citizens, including Winston Churchill and William Shakespeare, are brought to life alongside famous landmarks such as the Tower of London and Buckingham Palace. From the ancient stillness of Stonehenge to the picturesque charm of the Lake District to the bustling streets of London, B is for Big Ben reveals the many treasures, past and present, of merry old England.
