Product Description:
Can you name the first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution? What do they mean? This resource explains the Bill of Rights to young children. The first part of the book recounts the early history of our country, covering the Constitutional Convention, the three branches of government, and the enactment of the Constitution. Then it delves into the Bill of Rights. First, it briefly explains why Congress thought a Bill of Rights was necessary. Then it provides a short summary of each of the ten amendments. The text is very readable and gets the point across without overwhelming or boring its intended audience (not an easy task!) Simple two-color illustrations add visual interest. A glossary, index, and bibliography are included in the back. By Syl Sobel. 48 pgs, pb. ~ Lisa
