American History not your favorite subject? You might change your mind after reading this original interpretation of the founding of our nation told in Graphic Novel format. Presented as if it were a school production, the book’s colorful comic illustrations show elementary-age characters reenacting scenes of historical importance such as the Constitutional Convention of 1787. The cast is cleverly introduced on the back cover (for example, “Nell Yeager plays New York”) and they take readers on a stimulating timeline tour of national events. 48 pages
