Nonfiction
This book lays out the story of how our constitution came to
be. It goes through all of the events that led up to it. It also discusses all
of the people who had a hand in writing it. Throughout the story, it gives
direct quotes that were said by the men who wrote our constitution.
The illustrations were very beautiful. They really brought
history to life. The pictures were done with various water media on watercolor
paper. There are mostly cool colors used with a pop of red or orange here and
there. There were not really any distinct lines throughout.
This book would be a wonderful way to introduce a lesson on
the history the constitution. It could also be used to discuss the history of
the United States in general. You could also do a lesson on different
historical figures such as George Washington. You could do a math lesson by
measuring the different routes the soldiers had to take to the different wars
and battles. This book was not awarded any medals.
