Vote for Me All about Civics

Vote for Me All about Civics
by
Kristen Hall and Bev Luedecke

Children's Fiction ages 5-7

This falls in the category of fiction-but-meant-to-teach-something like nonfiction.

The critters of Beastieville return in this educational book. One runs for class president. The beasts make promises. Who will win. Democracy simplified.

This series has a lot going for it:
1. the illustrations are rather nice in a Hallmark/American Greetings kind of way
2. vocabulary words in the back
3. discussion questions in the back
4. simple and well written topics
5. a map
6. dramatis personae
7. sturdy reinforced binding

Now that I think of it, these are exactly the things I look for in a book, whether a children's book or adult's book.
This is a well matched team of author and illustrator and I wish them many happy years together (so does Scholastic).
Buy this series for your elementary school library or public library.
