Booklist - 04/01/2024 This book describes the presidential election process and the reasons voting matters using clear language that's accessible for young readers. It covers the branches of government, the role of the president, how elections work, who can vote, and suggestions for what kids can do even though they’re not old enough to vote. Additionally, the steps to running for president, the process of voting (and the issues that might affect voting, such as gerrymandering), and the electoral college are described. It also explains what happens after the president is elected, from the inauguration to life in the White House and after office. Interesting supplementary information is found in “It's a Fact” and “Did You Know?” sidebars. A list of the presidents, their political party, and the dates they were in office is included. Information is presented in colorful text boxes, and underlined glossary words link to more information (not seen). Colorful, visually appealing illustrations, infographics, maps, charts, and black-and-white photos enhance the text. This kid-friendly book is a useful and informative primer on presidential elections. - Copyright 2024 Booklist.
