Fun book presenting election information that kids of many ages can understand, yet not too silly or young to be enjoyed by the slightly older set as well. I think I finally understand the electoral college!
Honestly I am terrible when it comes to politics. The last time I learned about politics was back in junior high when we had to take a test on government stuff. I feel like literally right after that I was so overloaded, I forgot it all! Well this book from Barron's is a great book for kids through adults to learn about presidential elections and more. The book is very easy to read and even has illustrations throughout the book. The book has answers to questions about how the government is ran and facts that are fun to read such as "Who was the oldest president?" and "Which president led for four-terms?" I learned a lot from this book and my 9 year old seemed really interested. It is a great book for parents to pick up a refresher especially if they have curious kids asking them questions about the upcoming election. The format is very easy to read and follow and it is not full of overwhelming text.I received this book to review in exchange for sharing my honest opinion.
This was an amazing book that really had a ton of great facts and figures that any history fan will love, and more importantly it will open your eyes about the world of the Presidents. My daughters and I loved sharing this together and we learned so much and you will too!*I received this for review - all opinions are my own*
This is a great resource, but it was a little elementary for my grade level.
