- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This book is great information about how voting works. It has a great vocabulary and awesome pictures. It uses language that kids will understand and will get them excited to learn more about the government and voting process.
Genre: Informational
Use: to teach children about politics, and teach them political vocabulary - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A really excellent introduction to American election process, Vote uses two humorous canine narrators to take readers through the process of a mayoral election. Although the Electoral College is not covered since this is not a Presidential election, Christelow covers just about everything else, from how politicians earn and spend money, to how political advertising can work, to the history of American voting, to the basics of voter registration and the actual mechanics of voting. Packed with information, but far from boring or overwhelming, Vote! is the perfect book for introducing this complex topic to middle and upper grade school students.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was a really enjoyable read about how the election process works - perfect for a 5.5 yr old.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was a useful book as a companion to a unit on how democracy works. The information is accurate, relevant to current events, presented with amusing characters, and easily readable to a class of students. It even provides some comprehension questions and an activity suggestion at the end of the book. My only criticism is that the students seemed to get bored towards the end. It ran a tad bit longer than their attention span.
