This book is a great introduction to the concept of voting. It moves from choosing apples or oranges all the way to voting for lawmakers. The process of voting, winning, and losing is presented in a format that’s easily understandable and accessible for young kids. The cartoonish illustrations use minimal color, but they help convey the message and lessons about voting. The book includes a great informational section at the end about what kids can do and how the government works.

This book is a wonderful starting place for young kids wanting to learn more about voting and our government. Best for K-3rd grade readers, this book would be wonderful as the beginning to a program or discussion about voting.
