Cute book. Includes a lot of information on where the words themselves came from (etymology), where word meanings came from (how Hamburger ended up attached to meat), and where the different parts of the 4th of July celebration came from. She also includes the full text of the Declaration of Independance. It was interesting to read how the different political parties formed, and why, and the name changes they've gone thnrough since then!
