Author: Anastasia Suen
Title: The U.S. Supreme Court
Publisher: Picture Window Books
ISBN: 978-1-4048-4707-1 Library Binding

Looking for book tie-in for Constitution Day at the elementary level? Then look no farther than Anastasia Suen’s new title : The U.S. Supreme Court.  Marta, our friendly and knowledgeable attorney takes us through the history of the Supreme Court.

Did you know that the original Supreme Court first met in the Royal Exchange building in New York City?  Then it moved to Philadelphia until finally coming to Washington, D.C.

Did you know which president not only served as president but then was named to the Supreme Court? You have to get the book to find out.

The “U.S. Supreme Court Facts” left me wanting to know more about this highest level of our government.

Matthew Skeens has illustrated the book using digitally created images which are kind of cool.
The book includes a table of contents, an index, glossary, a bibliography, and Internet information.  To me, these are important attributes for any good nonfiction book.
