Editorial Reviews

The Guía para jóvenes sobre el gobierno (Young People's Guide to Government) series (4 titles) teaches young readers about why it’s important to vote, candidates and their campaigns, laws and amendments, and the electoral process as a whole. This accessible title prioritizes learning, with boldface vocabulary words defined in a footer on the same page, but Gunderson keeps readers interested by providing historical photos, visual models (like that of the three branches of government), and Q&A example boxes embedded in eye-catching, colorful templates. Between the sharp, modern illustration style and the informative content, readers receive unbiased views and definitions of political features, like the major parties. Gunderson ends with an energized call to action, “Cómo puedes participar?” (How can you participate?), along with writing prompts to help engage students.
