From AudioFile
Share this read-along with young readers eager to learn more about our nation's history. In SHH! WE'RE WRITING THE CONSTITUTION, Jean Fritz has written a lively account of the birth of the Constitution during a scorching summer with all the windows shut to prevent rumors, a bombardment of bluebottle flies, and New England delegates swathed in woolen suits. The reading is equally spirited, with plenty of emphasis and expression to engage listeners who might not be familiar with the Constitutional Convention or the personalities involved, including two presidents, Washington and Madison.
