| 1.How the U.S. Government Works by: Syl Sobel September 01, 1999 |

| This is a book I could hand most American fourth graders to familiarize them with the workings of the U.S. government. While its target audience is preteens, it has also been helpful when familiarizing foreigners with our form of government.
The book is very short, very simplified and exactly what any non-genius needs for their first exposure to the concepts (as opposed to reading the Constitution for instance). I handed a copy to a foreign-born high school student prior to her 11th ... Read More: |

| This was the best book ever! It did a good job of explaining the Electoral College. I liked the map of the US representing the number of Electorial votes each state has. The Winners Who Lost was informative and interesting. Order of Succession was a good reminder and learning about the nine times VP becomes president. Like the Electorial College information I liked having a complete list of all the presidents. |

|
| Syl Sobel is the author of a book on the Pledge of Allegiance, and he is very informative. The book could use some updating with more historical information about the topic addressed. For example, the Pledge was the origin of the stiff-arm salute that was adopted later by the National Socialist German Workers Party. The early salute for the Pledge of Allegiance was the straight-arm salute. Francis Bellamy was the author of the Pledge (1892) and cousin to Edward Bellamy, author of an international bestseller ...
