Description

This factual gem that's written with Jean Fritz's humorous touch chronicles the hot summer of 1787 where fifty-five delegates from thirteen states huddled together in the strictest secrecy in Philadelphia to draw up the constitution of the United States. Color illustrations accompany the text in this engaging account of the Constitutional Convention of 1787, which contains historical fact as well as interesting details, such as how the hot weather and loud street noises affected the men creating the document. - from Amzon
