Synopsis

CAN KIDS OUTSMART THE GROWN-UPS? Celebrate America's 250th birthday with the ultimate civics challenge: 101 brain teasers about the Founding Fathers, our Constitution, Capitol secrets, and more! Whether you're a U.S. history buff or just love a good "weird but true" fact, this interactive quiz book, sprinkled with FUN FACTS throughout, builds real civics education knowledge, backed by sourced answers and links for further reading (available via a QR Code in the book). Discover nonpartisan American civics puzzlers even your social studies teacher might have missed! Did you know Ben Franklin wanted the turkey, not the bald eagle, as our national bird? Or that the Pledge of Allegiance was written in two hours by a socialist preacher? Children and adults alike become more informed citizens as they try to stump friends, family, and each other. Perfect for family game nights, road trips, Fourth of July barbecues, and election year classroom challenges. This is BOOK 1 in the "Are You Smarter Than Your Parents" curriculum-aligned series; BOOK 2 focuses on American Presidents, available in January, 2027.
