"The excitement of an election and campaign are carried out in a primary classroom. Ms. Garcia's class is learning how to campaign, run for office, and give a campaign speech. Students wonder if they should vote for their best friend for office. Ms. Garcia explains the election procedures to the students, and they proceed to make posters, give speeches, and vote. Even a run-off is discussed when a tie occurs between the candidates. Many schools have student council elections, and this would be an ideal book for young students to understand the election process. Brightly colored illustrations of a multicultural classroom, with easy-to-read text make this book a winner. Fact boxes provide basic information about elections. A glossary, bibliography for further reading, and a website are provided." - Children's Literature Comprehensive Database Newsletter
