Our CongressOur Congress

When her mom gets elected to the US House of Representatives, Alice can’t help feeling disappointed. She wonders what’s so important about Congress that it would make her mom want to move all the way to Washington, DC. But with the aid of some famous historical figures, helpful government workers, and a ghostly cat, Alice sets off on a once-in-a-lifetime guided tour of the US Capitol that helps her see just how Congress has shaped our nation throughout history, and how it continues to impact life for every American today.

Reviews
