Are you sure? Maybe it&#8217;s time to revisit those library dictionary lessons? Vexillology is the scientific study of the history, symbolism and use of flags. My students LOVE flags! We not only have the American flag prominently displayed, but I have some flags of the world by the country books (just as I have stuffed animals by the mammals, tonka trucks by the vehicles, dinosaurs&#8230;.well, you get the idea). I also have a display of the flags of the 50 U.S. states, as many students do not realize that each state has its own flag, too.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"213\" src=\"http:\/\/littlelibraryoflearning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/State-Flag-Set-300x213.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1860\" srcset=\"https:\/\/littlelibraryoflearning.com\/staging\/9682\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/State-Flag-Set-300x213.jpg 300w, https:\/\/littlelibraryoflearning.com\/staging\/9682\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/State-Flag-Set-1024x727.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/littlelibraryoflearning.com\/staging\/9682\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/State-Flag-Set-768x545.jpg 768w, https:\/\/littlelibraryoflearning.com\/staging\/9682\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/State-Flag-Set.jpg 1100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"\">During our reference book lessons, flags pop up in the atlas of course, but also in the almanac. Kids are fascinated by flags around the world. There are also specialized books on the history and symbolism of flags (in the vexillology section of course: 929.9). Do you know which country does not have a square or rectangular flag? Answer: Nepal. Do you know which country&#8217;s flag was designed by a 15-year old schoolgirl? Answer: Papua New Guinea. Do you know which country&#8217;s flag was modeled after the flag of the United States? Answer: Liberia.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"202\" height=\"300\" src=\"http:\/\/littlelibraryoflearning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Screen-Shot-2022-07-24-at-7.43.03-PM-202x300.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1873\" srcset=\"https:\/\/littlelibraryoflearning.com\/staging\/9682\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Screen-Shot-2022-07-24-at-7.43.03-PM-202x300.png 202w, https:\/\/littlelibraryoflearning.com\/staging\/9682\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Screen-Shot-2022-07-24-at-7.43.03-PM.png 468w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 202px) 100vw, 202px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Flag Books: Read All About It<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"224\" height=\"300\" src=\"http:\/\/littlelibraryoflearning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Screen-Shot-2022-07-24-at-7.02.01-PM-224x300.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1865\" srcset=\"https:\/\/littlelibraryoflearning.com\/staging\/9682\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Screen-Shot-2022-07-24-at-7.02.01-PM-224x300.png 224w, https:\/\/littlelibraryoflearning.com\/staging\/9682\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Screen-Shot-2022-07-24-at-7.02.01-PM.png 698w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 224px) 100vw, 224px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"233\" height=\"300\" src=\"http:\/\/littlelibraryoflearning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Screen-Shot-2022-07-24-at-6.59.40-PM-233x300.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1863\" srcset=\"https:\/\/littlelibraryoflearning.com\/staging\/9682\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Screen-Shot-2022-07-24-at-6.59.40-PM-233x300.png 233w, https:\/\/littlelibraryoflearning.com\/staging\/9682\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Screen-Shot-2022-07-24-at-6.59.40-PM.png 524w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 233px) 100vw, 233px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"http:\/\/littlelibraryoflearning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Flag-Book-300x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1859\" srcset=\"https:\/\/littlelibraryoflearning.com\/staging\/9682\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Flag-Book-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/littlelibraryoflearning.com\/staging\/9682\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Flag-Book-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/littlelibraryoflearning.com\/staging\/9682\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Flag-Book-200x200.jpeg 200w, https:\/\/littlelibraryoflearning.com\/staging\/9682\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Flag-Book.jpeg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"http:\/\/littlelibraryoflearning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Screen-Shot-2022-07-24-at-7.01.35-PM-300x225.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1864\" srcset=\"https:\/\/littlelibraryoflearning.com\/staging\/9682\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Screen-Shot-2022-07-24-at-7.01.35-PM-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/littlelibraryoflearning.com\/staging\/9682\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Screen-Shot-2022-07-24-at-7.01.35-PM.png 440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Many of our classes study countries around the world, or immigration.
