The Federalist Papers

Authors: Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, & John Jay

The Federalist Papers were a series of essays written by James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and John Jay under the pseudonym "Publius." The essays were written October 1787-August 1788, and were intended to build public and political support for the newly constructed Constitution which was sent to the States for ratification in September 1787, following the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia. The Federalist Papers represented only one facet in an on-going debate about what the newly forming government in America should look like and how it would govern. Although it is uncertain precisely how much The Federalist Papers affected the ratification of the Constitution, they were considered by many at the time—and continue to be considered—one of the greatest works of American political philosophy. Information on this book was pulled from the Library of Congress.

Bee-bim Bop!

Author: Linda Sue Park

Bee-bim Bop! refers to a dish of rice, egg strips, vegetables and meat that's a staple of Korean family life and it's a lot of fun to eat, too, because diners get to mix the parts together themselves right at the table. (The words in Korean mean, loosely, 'mix-mix rice.') The title also inspires some bouncy rhymes. Loving depictions of the joys of being mom's sous-chef are created by South Korean artist Ho Baek Lee. First, the necessary supplies are laid in. A flurry of rice-making, chopping and frying follows. The entire family, including a grandmother in traditional dress, gathers to say grace and dig in. Information on this book was pulled from BroDart.
