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.

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.

This book is required for 4th grade history through K12 Virtual Academies. As the school still hasn't shipped ours, (it is now mid October!)I ordered from Amazon, and the book was delivered very quickly. It is a very well written book that gives accurate information about the constitution in a way that is fun and interesting for grade school children.

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

I was looking for a straightforward, factual book about the US Constitution for my daughter. This book mostly meets that need, but I have had to point out to my daughter several things stated in the book that aren't quite accurate.

Well-written, helpful for students approx 8 years and up. Good refresher for the rest of us, as well as good explanations of some of the Amendments to the Constitution.

This book is awesome. I have my granddaughter walking around talking about the Constitution, and she is only 8 1/2.
