Osornio, Catherine L.

The Declaration of Independence from A to Z

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Layne Johnson. This book presents, in alphabetical sequence, a standard narrative of the events leading to and the players involved in the Declaration and its aftermath. Osornio embeds definitions of terms--a few are a bit of a stretch (yearly, zeal)--while paragraphs inspired by each letter give sufficiently detailed historical accounts. Deeply colored paintings intensify the colonial spirit of the book.
