World Politics in 100 Words

The ideas were succinctly presented, but I would have loved more entries. 100 words does make sense for an intro to politics, for children or whoever.

A very good social studies primer, looking at all things political, from how a country is run and governed up to the economical terms like GDP. The format, of a hundred word essay for all of a hundred terms, might not guarantee a brilliant book, and clearly one way to get towards assuring that is with the accompanying design. And here that's wonderful, really snappily conveying the meaning of the terms, and bringing an almost old-school political cartooning to it. The fact things are, when possible, put in relevant pairs – utopia/dystopia, patriotism/racism, etc – also helps comprehension. And it wasn't able to run its course without teaching me something – who else knew where the word 'candidate' came from? A must for the school library, this is a global work too, and not just concerned with the USA way of doing things.

Politics is a subject much talked about in our current climate.  This title, geared to elementary school children aims to educate and open up topics for discussion.  As the title notes, there are 100 words in all.  Just a few of those included are bureaucracy, activist, capitalism, patriotism, leader and more. 

Many thanks to NetGalley for this title in exchange for an honest review. This well illustrated reference deserves a place on school and home library shelves.

An excellent introductory reference about politics ideal for children in upper elementary school and beyond. Covered is a broad range of topics, some including: government types, ideologies, and economics. Each term is defined in a brief and straightforward manner. Overall, a very informative introduction to politics.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for providing this ARC.

This books is fun and accessible. It’s a great introduction for young children with lots of points to spark interest and debate. Ideal for the classroom.

I am going to get a copy of this book for school. Aside from being beautifully illustrated and presented, the information is clear and easy to understand and explains concepts in detail but without being too complicated.

This is a super cool dictionary of world politics terms everyone should know. Each page is a description and large illustration. As a homeschooling family, this will be a book we use often.

A very good, bright and illustrated introduction to politics! To children or even for someone that isn't much knowledgeable in it!
As I'm a foreigner and I don't know much about the politics in the US, and sometimes I don't know the exact word that would translate what I know in portuguese to what it is in english the book is quite good!

I was itching to get my hands on this book for my classroom library. I'm a political science major and always looking for unique ways to introduce my students to international politics. World Politics in 100 Worlds is perfect for younger students because it's quick and entertaining! It's an easy way to give them a quick taste and spark further interest. I really wish a book like this existed when I was a kid. Growing up, we learned very little about politics outside of Canada. I'd highly recommend picking this up for your classroom or home collection!

Learn Political Terms, Quick & Easy

This is a great book to introduce political terms to middle graders. They explain each term in just 100 words or so with a colorful picture to go along with it that illustrates the concept. Some two-page spreads are related, like poverty and wealth or left and right. For a book on politics, this is relatively unbiased, which is always good in a political book aimed at children. The book isn't really geared to any particular country, as some words explored aren't typically used in, say, US politics. This would be a perfect book for homeschooling, a middle-grade library, or just for a child who is interested in politics.
