Great historical narrative for young readers. Contains a copy of the constitution. The states are listed along with their representatives who signed the constitution. Has many interesting facts about the people who helped draw up our constitution.

"In the sweltering summer of 1787, fifty-five delegates from thirteen states huddled in the strictest secrecy in the Philadelphia State House to draw up a plan of government for the collection of states, and after four months of emotional outbursts and rousing debates, our Constitution was written."

Love this book! Gives a kid-friendly, yet detailed, version of the history of our Constitution. I used it as a supplement for my 5th graders US history lessons.
