A true symbol and inspiration for all that is best about America, the actual Declaration of Independence has been rolled up, moved, hidden, copied and transported by more modes of transportation than anyone might guess since its signing in 1776. In this witty, gritty and factual history, audiences will learn all about the document that has defined American freedom for over two centuries. Narrated by Jeff Brooks, with music by Ernest V. Troost.
Reviews:
Booklist: "This lively, patriotic read-along is an entertaining way for youngsters tolearn about U.S. history. Background music and sound effects help place kids smack dab in the the middle of the action. A bonus track is a reading of the Declaration of Independence."
Video Librarian: "Backed by Ernest V. Troost's solid soundtrack, this lively overview nicely encapsulated the rough and tumble history of one of our most cherished documents. Recommended."
Catholic Library World: "This video is excellent. It presents a little-known segment of U.S. history and makes it not only interesting, but memorble."
