Guide to U.S. Government for Kids

Benjamin Franklin as a guide, this new kids site features the
U.S. Constitution, how laws are made, the branches of the federal
government, what it means to be a U.S. citizen, and lots more.
It has games and links to other federal government sites created
for kids. The American Association of School Librarians conference
gave it excellent reviews. |
