I loved the book! I wish I'd had access to this book back in the day when I was teaching fourth grade social studies and needed a more realistic way to explain laws and legislative processes. The day ends in a long-awaited trip to get ice cream, and the reader can almost taste the deliciousness of the treat along with the fun of learning. The mixture of messages against bullying makes for some subtle learning about the negative effects of bullying for children. -- Dr. Patricia Anderson, Professor of Elementary Education, East Carolina University The illustrations bring the characters to life. This book addresses stereotypes and is inclusive of different races, ethnic backgrounds, religions, and gender. It is is an outstanding instructional resource for teaching state government and provides an opportunity for students to brainstorm current issues that could be passed as a law while focusing on essential government vocabulary! Well done! I am excited about seeing this book in our classrooms! -- Beth Uffers, NBCT, County Teacher of the Year This engaging, informative book simplifies the 12-step law-making process so that children (and adults) may understand clearly the terminology and complexities involved in the formulation of state laws. Both Social Studies teachers and home school parents will find this text useful, but they should be prepared to serve ice cream after sharing with their students! -- Dalene Parker, Ed.D, NBCT
