Genre: Informational
Review: This is an informational book about the Founding Fathers and the forming of the United States of America. I really like the information that is included in the book because I think it gives a clear story without being too overwhelming. It was written in a way that students would be able to understand it. The vocabulary is written in bold and explained so that there is no confusion. However, the layout is a little confusing and I am not always sure what to read next. I like that pictures and quotes of the founding fathers were included, and I like that the book has information on cities and life in America at that time, not just information about the founding fathers. I think this is a good book to have in class to learn about the forming of America.
Uses: This would be a good book to use when learning about events such as the Constitutional Convention or the signing of the Declaration of Independence. It would also be useful for a project about life in America in the 1700's and early 1800's.
