Review
In this third book of the series, Arlo and Andrea (from the My Weird School" series) have a conversation on a number of different historical topics. For instance - did you know that neither Thomas Jefferson nor John Adams actually signed the Constitution or that Baseball was invented before the Civil War, but then the civil war brought about it's wide spread popularity? You will learn these and many other interesting facts about American History in this fun read. This book could be used in the classroom for some fun fact finding our independent reading. The kids will get some good information but also a laugh or two while they are reading it.
Overall Book Score: very good
