Mark Twain Media | Understanding the US Constitution Workbook (A workbook about the Constitution for kids)
The worst reviews of this book are the best reason to buy it! Panned as “dry” and “only facts”, and free from “passion”. This is a rare school book with no agenda other than to teach kids facts.
This workbook spans the start of the Constitution and each branch of government. To the articles and amendments.
