Grace
for President
by Kelly DiPucchio
Kids Wings Award Book
Determined
to become the first female President of the United States,
Grace enters her first race in the mock election at her
school. The race appears to offer some stiff competition...especially
among the boys who seem intent to vote for "the best
man" in the race. Another hurdle is understanding the
electoral college, but her
teacher handles that in a clever way that not only helps
the students understand it, but also the readers! The electoral
college simulation is unforgettable!
Grace
for President is the perfect book for preparing your
students of all ages for a presidential election. The educator
Bruno was famous for saying, "You can teach anything
to anyone if you make it simple enough." This book
fits that bill and adds fun to boot! |
