Voting
in America is seen as a fairly ubiquitous right at this point, but the
actual who/what/when/where/why can be a bit more complicated. This
easy-to-read picture book explains the details of voting in the United
States. Each page has fun illustrations, answers an important question
about voting (How do we know who to choose in an election?), and
includes a few interesting tidbits or stories. The basic heart of the
book encourages young readers to get involved and get educated on the
important subject of voting.
This is a fantastic
nonfiction picture book that checks all the boxes for me. The
information is accurate and important, the text is detailed but still
written in a way kids can understand, and the illustrations are on
point. This is the sort of book middle readers could handle on their
own, and elementary age readers could utilize with a teacher's guidance.
I think its a book that should be used in elementary social studies
classes, for sure! Overall a great book that covers all your bases when
teaching students about voting in America.
