Customer Reviews

Interesting and easy to understand

I researched and checked out several books on the Constitution for my 11 year old homeschooled daughter. She said, "I thought reading about the Constitution was boring until I got to this book." It's a sad statement on our educational system, but high praise for this book, that I'd wager my daughter now has a better understanding of the U.S. Constitution than many college graduates. I'm considering buying it (checked it out from the library), and only about 2% of the books we check out make that cut.

The US Constitution and You

This is a good book. Good illustrations that help with the text in understanding government. Good refresher from our long ago Social Studies classes.

one of two

I purchased this book in addition to How The U.S. Government Works, by the same author. I was pleased that the books do not talk down to my middle-schoolers, but instead explain in easily-understood terms how it all is supposed to work. This is a good reference book for a 'tween-ager. I keep both books on my homeschool bookshelf and my children have gone back to them several times.
