Restocking Fees
Restocking fees apply when you return an item priced >.$100 and you request a refund to your original payment method instead of store credit.

If you remove the original packaging we reserve the right to reject the return, however we may simply apply a restocking fee on a case by case basis so your return will still be accepted.

The book came well packaged and in perfect condition. I love the bright colors and bigger font sizes for older eyes reading it to kids. (I'm learning things too!) Would definitely recommend especially for America's 250th birthday!

This is an excellent book. I purchased 8 copies for my library in anticipation of America 250 celebrations and they have been incredibly popular. Highly recommend.

Such a cute and thorough approach to the material. I feel good knowing that no matter what happens to school curriculums around the country, we can teach our daughter about the government and how it is intended to operate. She loves all the interactive modules in each section.

High quality book with bold, bright colors and fun illustrations. The side-by-side “plain English” translations for each paragraph or section is helpful to not only my third grader, but to me as well.

I'm excited to put this under the Christmas tree for my American-history-loving 5th grader. It's beautifully designed and clearly written.

These are beautifully made books that are very interactive and engaging. I’m as excited about it as my 7 year old is!

My kids and I love this book! For them to break it down for you into plain English is such a huge help when it comes to homeschooling.

Beautiful book explaining the Declaration of Independence! I learned a lot from this book as an adult and I am excited to share it with my kids.

I have not read the whole book but just skimming through, my first impressions are that the books are quality. The binding is tight, the paper is thick, the illustrations are beautiful and printed beautifully. I like the idea of the side by side original and plain text. However, the plain text can be inaccurate at times. For example, "the right to pursue happiness" is simplified this way: "the right to be happy" and that is not quite right. The pursue, after all is very important. The founding f...

These books are beautiful, and so very well written! They are engaging and appeal to my 8 year old and 11 year old, and I believe would as well to an even wider range. Gems of history that are hard to come by are presented so well. I am so glad I got these books!

Wow, this book is incredibly well done! I wish I had it when I was in primary school, or even in college! Though it is clearly written for elementary school age kids, I found myself engaged and learning as I read it. The formatting is brilliant. The left page gives the original text and the right page summaries it in "plain text" that is simple to understand. The backdrop is a similar mix of primary source artwork and colorful graphics. Also included are historical context, highlighted word choi...

In the age of “Wokeness” I did not appreciate a book aimed towards young children asking “ If you were part of Gov, would you make amends to the Native Americans” ei; reparations. No seriously it literally SAYS THAT in the book!!!!-Plse LEAVE your political agendas out the door when it comes to Children!!!!My husband and I both found this incredibly offensive to be asked of small children in a childrens book.We used a SHARPIE to cross that part OUT.Other than that part. It’s a good book with pla...
