Editorial Reviews

04/01/2023

Gr 2–4—An overview of the various facets of the United States Government is provided in these six introductory volumes. Readers learn how a bill becomes a law, how the three branches of government work together, and the roles of the Supreme Court, the President, and the Vice President. Facts provided are informative; for instance, space is dedicated to the concept of checks and balances, the composition of Congress, and the age and residency requirements for the President. Additionally, the narratives display their currency with references to President Biden and newest Supreme Court Justice Jackson. Photographs accompany the texts. Targeted readers will not find these reads exciting, but they will use them for reports. VERDICT There are other titles available on the same topics, but the currency of these volumes should be considered by selectors who need to update their collections.
