Syl Sobel has taken a complicated subject and made it understandable and interesting for the elementary school student. This book is easy to read, with short chapters and filled with a ton of information. It also includes a lot of fun facts that everyone will enjoy about different presidents, their wives and some of our more interesting elections. A wonderful resource with a glossary, index and bibliography.

This is an educational and fun book that could not have come at a better time! My family and I have enjoyed reading about the complex election process, which the author explains in a clear and enjoyable style.

This was the best book ever! It did a good job of explaining the Electoral College. I liked the map of the US representing the number of Electorial votes each state has. The Winners Who Lost was informative and interesting. Order of Succession was a good reminder and learning about the nine times VP becomes president. Like the Electorial College information I liked having a complete list of all the presidents.

This is an Awesome book about presidential Elections! The interesting facts are fascinating and are about things you never have heard of before. Syl Sobel is my neighbor. CHECK OUT HIS BOOK!

I won't even buy this book because in browsing the exerpt, I found a significant fallacy. The United States is NOT a democracy. It is a Republic. Big difference and one we should all understand. Go back and read your constitution...or better yet, learn the Pledge of Allegiance.
