From School Library Journal:

ea. vol: illus. by Bob Dole. 30p. (Venture into Reading Series). CIP. Troll. July 1985. PLB $7.59; pap. $1.95. Grade 3-6 Basic historical information in a hi/lo format. Freedom Documents contains a brief description of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Congressperson discusses how senators and representatives are elected and how they go about making laws. Both follow a similar format with one or two paragraphs of text and a pen-and-ink sketch on each page. While the premise of presenting historical information in this type of format may be valid, these books are not worth the effort. The historical information is minimal, while the cartoon-like sketches are silly. Children deserve better, and they will find that a good encyclopedia presents the information in a more competent manner. Pamela K. Bomboy, Chesterfield County Public Schools, Va.
