Books for an Election Year

This is a good year to include some books about voting and elections in your family reading time. Family discussions about this important topic help students to understand some of the issues involved in an election. Some good ones include:

Vote! by Eileen Christelow (ages 6 and up)

So You Want to Be President?
by Judith St. George (ages 8 and up)

Independent Dames: What You Never Knew About the Women and Girls of the American Revolution
by Laurie Halse Anderson (ages 8 and up)

See How They Run: Campaign Dreams, Election Schemes, and the Race to the White House
by Susan E. Goodman (ages 9 and up)
