Woodrow Wilson was running for president and had many campaigns. This is an awesome book to read to young students so that they can learn about what is an election, how and why it is important to vote. ( )

I found this book to be a great and timely one in this election year. Read this with our 5 and 7 year old boys, and the oldest was especially interested. What captured both boys were the drawing, they were really interested in finding the Presidential Seal...kind of like an Ispy.
As we traveled through the White House, the rhyming prose gives a look at the House and the Election Process. They rhyming is excellent and does not seem forced, and the Children stayed attentive.
The back of the book is for the Parents...filled with some interesting facts and resources. I also think that you can share some of the tidbits that are offered here with the children.
While the beautiful illustrations are sometimes small, after a teacher has read this to her class, the book could be passed around in single or in pairs to look them over and maybe find the Seals.
I actually would give this book a 4+ stars...found it so interesting and full of great facts.

I received this book from TLC Book Tours, and the Publisher Little Patriot Press, and was not required to give a positive review. ( )

Woodrow the Mouse is running for president! Go through Woodrow's childhood, adolescence, governorship, presidential candidacy, debates, election... all the way up to the day he is sworn is as the president! This book captures the entire journey of becoming president.

This is a poem that follows Woodrow as through life as he decides to run for president. This is good to introduce the process of running for president. This poem is engaging and could be paried with an informational book to allow information to be memorable.
