(4) 4-6 How America Works series. Part of a middle-grade series about the workings of the U.S. government, this book gives basic historical information about the founding document. A choppy text discusses the rift with England, the Declaration's writing and dissemination, ratification, adaptation, and its continuing value as an instrument of "liberty and equality." Illustrations, archival document images, and sidebars add interest to the brief narrative. Reading list. Glos., ind.
