The US Congress for Kids: Over 200 Years of Lawmaking, Deal-Breaking, and

Description: "A well-written, extensive history." —Kirkus "It explores some big decisions by Congress, including votes to outlaw slavery and give voting rights to black men and then to women. It also includes 21 activities to help explain the day-to-day work on Capitol Hill." —The Washington Post "Kids will be engaged by the focus on dramatic stories, personalities, and turning points while also benefitting from the clear discussions of Congressional purpose, structure, history, and ongoing issues." —BookTrib "On what typically is a rather confusing and dry subject, author Ronald Reis breaks everything down so that it is both completely comprehensible and at the same time fascinating." —Smart Books for Smart Kids "This entry in the For Kids series offers both historical and timely perspectives of Congress." —Booklist "[The book] offers procedural and structural information about Congress, but it also describes how the "human factor" plays into the way Congress works." —The Reading Tub "It is difficult to not be very cynical when it comes to discussing the U.S. Congress and its members. We need a book like this to refocus us and help us show our young people what the institution is supposed to be all about." —Bookloons
