We The Kids

I love this book. Benjy’s parents gave it to us for Christmas in 2005. The book is the preamble to the Constitution of the United States but it is presented in a very kid friendly way. Through out the whole book, the pictures depict each phrase of the preamble. There is even a little dog on each page who is supposed to be acting out the phrases to promote better understanding. The pictures are incredible. There is even a page in the very beginning of the book that defines every phrase in the preamble in kid friendly terms. For example:


To Ourselves and Our Posterity: For kids, parents, other grown-ups, and all the people born in our country after we are”


I highly recommend having this book in your home for your children. I can’t say enough good things about this. I even used to read to Rees as a new born just so he could look at all the bright colors on the pages.

This book looks so cute! I love children's books, especially the nice hard back ones with great pics! Maybe I should come over and read this book to myself, I might learn something! Ha

Good seeing you guys tonight, tell benjy to call in sick tomorrow and we could play all day (: I know, I know, not going to happen.... but wouldn't it be awesome! Send Rees over to play with me and Lucy!
