Read aloud with my 13 year old as a part of our presidential election unit study. Though I found the last chapter overbearing to the point of obnoxiousness, the rest of the book was clever and funny and super informative. Kiddo loved reading the sidebars and the cartoons that accompanied each page.

A morning read-aloud selection in honor of the election year. Can I also count this as my Read Harder Challenge book about politics? Perhaps. True to form, K gave it a 4 and L a 3. I think it's a 4; pretty engaging book on the election process for the age group and lots of interesting little history factoids sprinkled through. Pretty quick read, glad we read it.

An excellent introduction to the American electoral system. Funny, with great stories, wonderful illustrations, and lots of fun facts. Also gives kids ideas for what they can do until they're old enough to vote themselves, with tons of examples.
Very up to date, as well - it mentions both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama;s campaigns, and does a good job covering the 200 elections.
