- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book is filled with a lot of good information--almost too good. Elementary students with the a book that is primarily text driven. Most two-page spreads contain some kind of hand-drawn graphic or info box. However, pictures are done in blue and white and don't lend a lot of information to most sections. Contains a glossary, bibliography and index. Bibliography should be updated. Would be better suited to younger students with better full-color photos. Purchase where election books are in demand as the information is good.
