This is the best material we have found for teaching children about American elections.It covers all the bases on elections, like:What does the president do?eligibility for presidentpresidential terms of officethe electoral collegepresidential campaignspolitical partiespolitical party conventionsdebatespolitical advertisingpolitical pollingrules for presidential successionAnd also gives fun facts throughout, like:the oldest and the youngest people elected presidentthe four-term presidentthe four people who won the popular vote but lost the electionthird-party candidatesfive sets of relatives who have become presidentfirst ladiesnine vice presidents who became president without being elected presidenta list of the names, dates, a parties of all 44 presidents of the United Statespresidential birthplaces and most popular presidential birth-statesIncludes a good glossary (caucus, census, convention, debates, delegates...)HOWEVER...Page 7 claims "The United States is a democracy." THIS IS FALSE. The United States is a Republic. The American Founders created a Republic because they were familiar with the vices of democracy, most notably violent majority rule against the minority.
This was a great book, with so many interesting facts and figures. Especially in a year of a Presidential Election, having a book like this makes you that much more proud of the system of government that we have today. What I really liked about the book was that it made the whole election process so easy to understand for young readers. Too often this process can seem a bit confusing and daunting, but this book lays everything out in an easy-to-understand way. On top of that there were some very interesting facts that I appreciated that would allow you to wow your friends at your Presidential trivia! Overall, if you love history and government, this is a book that you will truly enjoy!
These were PERFECT for my 8 and 11 year old to help explain the elections that are going on right now that our family is following oh so closely. It's been kinda cool after the kids reading these that they have a better understanding and we can now talk politics as a family ;-)
Honestly I thought it was informative but boring. My kids were dying... Maybe for middle school...My oldest did ok. Honestly we learned it all on the internet while we were waiting on the book. Scholastic has good info.
I actually thought this was a book, purchased for my grandson's birthday. It turned out to be not much more than a pamphlet. Perhaps I didn't read the fine print closely enough. Wanted to return it but it seemed like too much trouble!!!
