We the Kids is a book restating the Preamble of the Constitution of the United States. It begins with a foreword from David Catrow, the illustrator, explaining his experience with learning the constitution. It then gives very kids friendly definitions for the words used in the preamble. The artwork, as all David Catrow pictures seem to be, are zany, colorful, and whimsical. Each page carries on a storyline using 3 children and a dog. I love the "establish Justice" page with the words Rules, Fair, Share and No Pulling Hair standing out on the sign. I also adore the illustrations on "provide for common defense" when the dog is standing watch. In all this book is a great way to introduce some very difficult to understand vocabulary concepts to younger students. The artwork will appeal to younger students and keep them engaged in learning the preamble to the Constitution of the United States.
