As a teacher, I love the way they presented the concept of how a bill becomes a law. However, as a mother, I find it becomes confusing for a preschooler when you use terms such as "Squeaker" of the House instead of "Speaker" and "Mouse-jority" Leader. A great book, definitely worth the buy, but if your child can't read yet, use the real terminology to avoid confusion.

This is a cute book that was very well written. My son likes the mouse story and giggles every time I read it to him. It features "The Senate Mousejority leader and the Sqeaker of the House". Parents that are in to politics will get a good laugh out of reading this one.

I purchased this book for my grandchildren. Although it is a little old for them now, I know they will be interested in it in about a year or so. It is very informative about an important part of our goverment.

Good book for kids/teachers of American history/civics
A fun book -- useful in/out of classrooms ... probably some members of Congress could use it to better understand their responsibilities.

"Squeaker of the house" not what you think
I purchased 1100 copies of this book for my local High School's civics class thinking that it was about the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 that passed through the House by a narrow... Read more

Qualified Recommendation
This book is fairly well done, but treats an enor-mouse-ly complex subject very simply (by necessity, of course). Read more
