The A True Book series provides civics books geared to elementary students. In Making a Law, the reader learns what a law is, and the differences between local, state, and federal laws. The section I like most in this book is You and the Law. It talks to seven to ten year olds about their place in the process of making laws. It empowers the reader to take action in a way that is accessible to them.

What a great book! I personally love learning about our government and how it works. This informational book lays out how to make a law in a fun way for kids. It takes you all the way through the process starting with what a law is and how the entire process works. The end of the book has a section for important words to remind the reader about the key details. Media: photographs

"Rookie Read about Geography: California" is a short and simple nonfiction book about some of California's diverse regions, animals, and landmarks. The book includes two maps and a "words you know" section at the end of the book. The author, Sarah de Capua, poses the question "What is your favorite place in California?" and the 28 colorful photographs will give readers something to base their opinions on. This is a very basic book, but sometimes students just want something short and snappy show more to read. show less
