| This book came at the perfect time since I am currently studying to CLEP out in American History! The Declaration of Independence by Syl Sobel is not a very colorful book, but it does provide the basic facts of America's fight for Independence. The illustrations are black, white, and blue drawings. The text is easy to read; however, there is a lot of text on each page. Although I do recommend it as a good resource for studying the Declaration of Independence, my one disappointment is that it does not mention Federalists and Anti-federalists nor anything about states rights. I would recommend this book for 4th to 5th grade and up to 8th grade as an introduction to the topic. Published in 2008 by Barron's. 48 pages. |
