Gr 3–6—In a clear, appealing, and non-partisan way, these titles explain the responsibilities of the different branches of government, delineate what each political position entails, and give ways in which kids can involve themselves politically in their schools or communities. There is a lot of specific information discussed about topics, such as candidate eligibility, campaigning, and elections, but it's presented in an easy-to-understand language with the help of text boxes, charts, and captioned color photos. With many political terms being used, the glossary is useful here, and the vocabulary words are bolded throughout for easy lookup.
VERDICT An engaging look at government and politics that will help students relate to modern elections and inspire them to get involved.
