| This book was written by his Daughter, Meghan (now in her early 20s). The editorial reports that she is his oldest daughter. His eldest daughter is actually Sidney McCain, 41, of his first marriage.
I know the whole McCain family is involved and supportive of their Dad, but I would be surprised if Sidney's story of her father is quite as touching. He left his first wife Carol when she was 3 and married Cindy a month after the divorce. I fear that the error was meant to ... Read More: |

| Yes, we have been checking out a lot of books about elections and voting since we are right in the middle of a presidential election year, and I have alot of opinions about the quality of books that are out there for children. I really liked "Grace for President" (I reviewed that one as well). I felt that Doreen Cronin's book, "Duck for President" was written more to poke fun at the process than explain it to kids so that they can understand how things are really supposed to work. But this book, I ... Read More: |

| YES, WE CAN. We can dream. YES, WE CAN. We can achieve those dreams. YES, WE CAN. We can change America. YES, WE CAN.
This story chronicles Obama's life as he leads up to running for President. The historical nature of the story is intriguing. They used to call him Barry until he embraced his father and his name Barack. As his mother taught him proper English, Godly virtues, and love of family his sense of adventure took hold. Education was his foothold and studying was his pastime. ... Read More: |

| I haven't read this book in a long time, but I plan on picking it up on my next visit to the library!
I love the illustrations, so funny! The kids on the cover, too! If you like this book, I suggest The Kennedy White House, 1961-1963! |

|
| I won't even buy this book because in browsing the exerpt, I found a significant fallacy. The United States is NOT a democracy. It is a Republic. Big difference and one we should all understand. Go back and read your constitution...or better yet, learn the Pledge of Allegiance. |

|
| 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 grade government class and she told ... Read More: |

|
| This is not a children's book. It is a work of propaganda. It should be titled, "How to Win Voters and Influence the Media By Playing the Race Card".
1. Obama's only real-world experience during his legal and political career is playing the race card. But for the race card, he would still be a lecturer at the University of Chicago Law School. He has no experience whatever as an executive, manager, or trial atorney. As president his total lack of executive experience would damage America the same way that Mayor Ray Nagin's lack of ...

| The theme based school where I work will start with the theme of "Who Counts?" and it covers politics and elections on different levels for the children who attend our K-8 school. I picked up Susan E. Goodman's book because I was familiar with her other books, and I knew my students would love it. I just finished the book myself, and I really learned a lot about past presidents and elections. Goodman covers the 2000 election in a language that is easy for kids to access but does not simplify the situation. I also like how she addresses ... Read More: |
