This book will be even more of a hit during the election season.  Children have a natural curiosity about the things their parents discuss.  At school, I find that most (of the younger set) tend to restate their parents' views, without a firm understanding.This book brings the idea of an election into terms that kids can comprehend.  Now children have a frame of reference when they see yard signs and posters on walls - it's a way of telling voters something about an individual candidate.  It also explains, rather cleverly, what a `dirty race' means - something that is bandied about on TV.Who normally reads the author and/or illustrator's biography?  Because of the snazzy "photos" - my attention was arrested and I read every word.  The lush colors and art work by Bill Bruning make this eBook sparkle!  Bravo!
