We the People
by Lynne Cheney
Hardcover
Our Price: $1.00 You Save: 94%
When 1787 began, our young country was in turmoil. The central government was unable to pay off debts, there was armed insurrection in Massachusetts, and foreign governments were taking advantage of our weakness. The question of the hour, James Madison wrote, was "whether the American experiment was to be a blessing to the world or to blast forever the hopes which the republican cause had inspired." So in May of that year, delegates from across America -- including George Washington, James Madison, and Benjamin Franklin -- gathered in Philadelphia. There they debated and struggled until finally they created a new framework for governing: the Constitution of the United States. Now, in We the People: The Story of Our Constitution, bestselling author Lynne Cheney (wife of the Vice President) and master illustrator Greg Harlin team up to recreate this momentous time in American history -- a time when, in Mrs. Cheney's words, "a document was written that created our nation and offered a vision of ordered liberty to all the world."

by Tim Brennan and Stephen Brennan
Hardcover
Our Price: $1.00 You Save: 93%
Ever wonder why a growing number of American boys do nothing but play videogames, watch TV, download music and ringtones (and worse), and overeat? Maybe it's because all the fun stuff that boys used to do have fun -- and blow off all that masculine energy -- is off limits today. Maybe, too, it's because today's busy parents -- fathers, especially -- have forgotten about the "cool" things they loved to learn about or do when they were kids. Now, the remedy: The Adventurous Boy's Handbook is an indispensable compendium of activities, directions, and facts that will help today’s young boys (and girls!) discover that there are wonderful alternatives to today's eye-glazing world of computer screens, TV monitors, Ipods and cell-phones.

by Lynne Cheney

Our Price: $1.00 You Save: 94%
No one can fully appreciate the great good fortune we have to be Americans without knowing the events that brought us to where we are today.

One study, for instance, found that two thirds of seventeen-year-olds could not identify the half century in which the Civil War occurred. Now, bestselling children's author and historian Lynne Cheney (wife of Vice President Dick Cheney), provides a remedy: in A Time for Freedom: What Happened When in America, Mrs. Cheney takes young readers through a fascinating, illustrated timeline of key events in our history -- along with historic quotations by great Americans and little-known facts about our country.
