"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.
