How a Bill becomes a Law has never been this easy to grasp.
When I was growing up, we had "Well, I'm Only a Bill..." (with a wailing, bluesy tune), but this book is memorable and fun for today's kids.
In the first place, the illustrations are a knock-out - Cheryl Shaw Barnes has illustrated each page as an actual place in Washington, DC, and the details are amazing. I am an illustration fanatic, and these are good ones.
In the second place, the text (which RHYMES) is very easy to understand. The book is fine for a second-grade reader, but kids at higher reading levels will get it, too. The illustrations make it not too ... ahem... cheesy, if you will forgive the mouse pun - the book is utterly enjoyable.
It's a keeper.
