Contains the preamble to the Constitution, with a number of small illustrations giving context to each phrase, followed by pictures of each of the signers with his name, date of birth, and position. Also contains a history of the Constitution, as well as the document text, amendments, and footnotes.
This book, or something like it, would be very useful for classes studying the Constitution, and especially for those students who are writing reports or doing other research projects on American independence. The many tiny illustrations in the preamble section are helpful and interesting, although they would be much better for up-close studying than for whole-class sharing. Because this is a reprint with a new cover, librarians and teachers with extensive collections may want to make sure they do not already have a copy before ordering a new one.
