Loading... Vote!by Eileen Christelow
None. This teaches students about how they can vote for leaders in their community in a fun narrative style. It is a great introductory book about voting. It starts from the campaign and goes up to Election Day.  mssan5 | May 5, 2013 |  A 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. (  ) JenJ. | Mar 31, 2013 | This was a really enjoyable read about how the election process works - perfect for a 5.5 yr old. (  ) jenstrongin | Mar 31, 2013 | The book takes place during a mayoral election. While it is an informational book, it is told like a story. The story is told from the point of view of the candidate’s family. In the book, they explain what it means to vote and how the voting process works. It covers the history of voting in America, but in easy to understand terms. The book covers the whole voting process, from registration to the results, and even a recount. There is a description about what a mayor does. At the end of the book are a glossary and a timeline of voting history. HardenB | Dec 7, 2012 | This 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. ( ) carolineW | Oct 13, 2012 | no reviews | add a review
