The American Presidency

(4) 4-6 Graphic Library: Cartoon Nation series. Illustrated by Cynthia Martin. Here's a painless introduction to U.S. government: basic facts are interspersed with anecdotes supported by cartoons (e.g., the president and his Cabinet squished all together into a cabinet; a candidate on a treadmill "running" for reelection). One only wishes all the supplemental info boxes, sidebars, and definitions didn't create such a visual racket. Reading list, timeline, websites. Glos., ind. Review covers these Graphic Library: Cartoon Nation titles: The U.S. Congress, Political Elections, and The American Presidency.
