This book was super informative for the younger generation and is vital this year with the upcoming election. They really broke down a lot of our government rules and regulations and the how/why we elect presidents. I look forward to sharing this with my own children.

I think the information is great. As someone who closely follows politics, I try my best to help educate my daughters on what the processes are and answer questions in the way they can understand. This book is a great resources for me as a parent to help explain things but do think my 7 year old will lose some interest while reading through the book because of the lack of colors and illustrations. The content is fantastic but the illustrations and visuals can use some updates. I really like how cools facts and were included throughout the pages that allow for more talking points to expand on different topics. I would recommend this books to parents and other elementary school children to learn about elections. These topics are so important to the preservation of our democracy and so happy to have a good book to help me guide my children in their learning.

This book is especially great for a presidential election year. It explains what is an election, rules to be president, the electoral college, campaigning, families with history, and the order of succession. There is a lot of information but is very concise and organized.

This book is great! Lots of great factual information packed into this book in a very understandable way for children.. . and adults! I will likely grab up a hard copy of this for my son to help him understand more about the presidency, some of our history, and the election during this election year.

Thank you to NetGally, SOURCEBOOKS Kids, and Syl Sobel for an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Fun and factual! Clear explanations of the election process while breaking up the content with fun facts and illustrations. Great for children showing an interest in presidents or government.

This is a great book to introduce kids to Presidential Elections. It is appropriately written for a young audience with fun and engaging facts. My students really enjoyed this book.

With this being an election year this is the perfect book to help explain all the ins and outs of the election process. The book is written in easy to read format for kids. When you finish reading it with your student they will have a very good working knowledge about how to get elected President. There are some simple drawings that go along with the text. I like some of the little known facts that are added in the corners that might help you win a trivia night. There are probably some adults that might learn more about the electoral process as well. The main thing I like is the book is written in an apolitical style which is hard to find these days.

I received an ebook ARC of this book. This book is a good source of basic information and facts on the process to elect a president and the historical facts of presidents past. I enjoyed this book.

I really like this new edition! The updates are done very well. This is a great resource for teaching children about presidential elections, and it is especially relevant during election years. At times, the information can feel complicated, but the wording is clear. It doesn't feel too condescending for children, either. The illustrations are also super cute!

Just in time for an election year, this book is informative and perfect for educating the upcoming generation. Or honestly, anyone that wants to understand the voting system better. I know a decent amount, and I learned things from this book. It is put in ways that are easy to understand. There are fun facts and trivia about presidents, voting process and just history in general. Very well done!

An easy to understand look into American presidential elections, perfect for an upcoming election. This breaks down the American presidency for students, specifically how presidents are elected, and some history behind elections. I thought the way the info was presented was easy to understand for kids and very user-friendly. I would say I wish it touched more on the problematic history of the electoral college. It does go into times that the popular vote was different, etc. and how it isn't perfect, but it doesn't touch on its relation to slaveholders. I know this is for kids, but it could still be done in a sensitive way to start kids understanding the troublesome legacy of slavery on the way we elect presidents. Overall though, a good introduction to elections for kids.

I received my copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
