Reviews

[Dawn Laws · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is about the Declaration of Independence. It offers information about why it was written and the events that led to it.

I rated this 5/5 because it is important for everyone to understand history and introducing at a yong age is a great way to gain interest. It is an easy read with lots of illustrations.
