   I was very disappointed in this book. I purchased it as an introduction of our Constitutional history for my 6 yr. old. It is little more than a picture book with one line of dialogue on each page. Dealing with a 6 yr. old who is always asking why and inquistive-normal for six yrs., this book could have expended thru out on the topic with more substance. Geared more for childrens in lower age of age catagory listed.

   I had read the previous reviews on here about it being a great book, he teaches the kids in a talented way about the constitution, etc. I suppose I should have read the reviews with the not impressed with it. I was deeply disappointed with this book. I don’t see where it teaches a child anything. It was not at all what I expected. I would not buy this at a garage sale for a quarter. I might for ten cents if my kid wanted it. It was not worth the price paid for it. The reviews on here talking about it being excellent, teaching, etc are very misleading. Granted it is one’s opinion. It is a book I would label for the trash bin. I would not recommend this book to anyone. If you want a book to teach your child about the constitution, search elsewhere. This wont do anything and you’ll be urked over buying it under misleading terms.

   I am a third grade teacher, looking for teaching materials to help my students understand the power and importance of our Constitution as well as the incredible foresight and courage of our Founders. This book popped up in my search, and I have seen the author’s work before. He is talented and creates beautiful illustrations. I read that he was a political cartoonist, so I thought I’d better check out his work before buying. When I looked at his political cartoons, I found many of them disparaging to the ideals I hold dear. I do not want to support this author and if you are a lover of country, you might not want to either. Please research him first.

   I love this book — and someone else does too — I lent out my copy and never got it back so I had to buy another one — makes the preamble easy to understand and the intentions of the forefathers more important.

   This is the preamble of the constitution illustrated by David Catrow, and it is so beautiful!
