Attention Teachers!,
By Becki Dios (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Woodrow for President: A Tail of Voting, Campaigns, and Elections (Hardcover)
This is the cutest book about the Presidential Election Process ever! The Barnes' have done it! Teachers should run to get this book and prepare for the fall to teach about the election as it draws closer! The way the book is set up, it goes through every step of the election process in a simple yet clear and complete manner. As a third grade teacher, I will use this book and many others written by the Barnes' to teach my class about the governmental process. I think that children will be amused and at the same time learn a great deal of political information! Enjoy!
