Holidays & Heroes series.
These books highlight two U.S. holidays, providing information about their origins and purposes. Constitution presents a brief history of the creation and ratification of the document and the naming of September 17 as Constitution and Citizenship Day. Labor explains the holiday's origin and emphasizes its importance to the working sector of the American public. Photographs and period illustrations accompany the lackluster texts. Review covers these Holidays & Heroes titles: Let's Celebrate Constitution Day and Let's Celebrate Labor Day.
