I bought this book to try to explain voting to my four year old twins and I think it really helped. Using brightly-colored photos with some "digital enhancement" and simple text, the book describes how five kids voted whether to get a goldfish or a hermit crab for a class pet. All the steps are shown: discussing the pros and cons, filling out ballots, counting the votes, etc. At the end, the book ties the discussion to official voting, and shows one of the children in the class going to a polling place with his mom. I haven't seen a better book on this subject for young children.
I got this as part of my Toys for Tots Gifts this year. I wanted to share with young readers how to vote.
