Praise for The Side-by-Side Declaration of Independence (Great Documents Collection #1):
āAn absolute necessity for anyone looking for a kid-friendly history book.ā āTime for Kids, Kid Reporter
*āThis engaging and surprisingly entertaining effort seems like the perfect choice to accompany and expand lesson plans. A hardworking addition to U.S. history shelves.āāKirkus Reviews (Starred)
*āThis book introduces students to the Declaration in an informative and well-rounded manner. They are not just told what the document says but asked to think about it and question it.VERDICT A great way to nourish an informed citizenry. Highly recommended.āāSchool Library Journal (Starred)
āThis title presents exactly what the title describes....The collage-style illustrations...practically tell a story themselves, often managing to add humor to what is frequently considered a somewhat dry topic. The result is a book that is not only educational, but fun as well.ā āSchool Library Connection, Recommended
