I received a free ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This book was super cute. The pictures were bright and engaging and the text was short and flowed nicely. It illustrates perfectly the importance of voting, but also clean oceans. I think it will help kids understand why we vote and why we need to.

If you are searching for a book on the topic of voting for your younger reader, this may be your book. While it'll be awhile until they are able to vote it's never too early to introduce the topic. By the end of the story they learn the importance of giving everyone a voice. The pictures were colorful and help bring the story to life.

Children need to learn from an early age the importance of voting. There will be lots of things they vote on in their lifetime. This is a cute way of showing the importance of voting. Who doesn't like a porpoise? At the end is a little write up for parents about the importance of voting.

With simple and catchy rhymes, Sean Callahan and Russell Glass' <em>Voting With a Porpoise </em>is one of the most important children's books that I've seen published lately. Using captivating illustrations and a clever story to entice children into understanding the importance of voting so that one day, when they're old enough, they will not succumb to the unfortunate habit many people have today of not going to vote.

The dolphins and the porpoise have all lost their food and have to decide whether to move in order to find some or to remain where they have always been and simply hope that the food returns. Two dolphins on opposing sides argue their positions and rather quickly the idea of having an election is proposed. And so they do.

This book is told with rhymes, which I enjoyed, but I definitely enjoyed the overall message of the story more. Voting is important. Otherwise we may be stuck with situations and lives that we don't want. The book's commentary on the importance of elections, the horror of the trash dump into the sea, and the fact that it provides parents with information they can use to set their children up for a healthy future make this book one worth buying for your children.

The only complaint I really have is about the text placement, which occasionally covered parts of the illustrations that I felt it shouldn't. But that is quite menial in comparison to how much this book will help young minds. And an exciting thing about this book is that the proceeds will be going to non-partisan organizations that work to increase voter turn out.

I am always looking for a way to teach big subjects on a level that children can understand. The concept of voting is not always hard to understand but the why behind it is. Voting with a Porpoise is a fun book that explains why voting is important and why we should each make sure to play a part in our own community. This book also showed that allowing everyone even those a little different to play a part in decisions.

I was given the opportunity to view this book through NetGalley as an advanced copy in exchange for my review. The opinion is my own and I am not required to give a positive review.
