[PW] Federalist papers adapted for children?

I did some searching myself and got results similar to yours. 

Frankly, "The Federalist" for children is one of the worst book ideas I've heard in some time.

Mark Wilson <mwilson at cumberland.lib.nc.us> wrote: I have a customer who's thinking of writing an adaptation of The Federalist, for children.  She wanted to see if such a thing already existed before she made this attempt.  I've looked in our own catalog of course, also WorldCat.  I've tried numerous combinations of title kw "federalist" and a mixture of as many terms as I could think of that point to not-the-real-McCoy.  I.e., simplified, abridged, adapted.
 
I find plenty of things of this nature for the Declaration of Independence & the Constitution, but nothing for the Federalist Papers, a.k.a. "The Federalist."  Am I missing anything?  Or would this be, as I suspect, not readily adaptable for children?
