D Is for Democracy: A Citizen's Alphabet

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Victor Juhasz. "J is for Judicial branch-- / For justice, judge, and jury. / Those who do not break the law / never have to worry." An alphabetical format organizes information from Amendment to Zeitgeist. The prose information presented in sidebars is more far sophisticated than the forced rhymes. Cartoon illustrations echo newspaper editorial style, and a specific appendix encourages participation in government.
