There was no escaping his most embarrassing moment where he tackles the governor of Minnessota/ presidential candidate, being taken down by Secret Service and sucking it with his clarinet solo.  But it's not all bad because  The Fresh Idea campaign wants to jump on this instant celebrity status and take him on tour with them and help them win over the Midwest vote with his honesty and small town ideas.  

How Not to Run For President by Catherine Clark is a fast and funny read for 6th-8th graders just right for the current political climate.  

IT'S ALMOST HERE...

Most likely you have read many of the titles from the Eyewitness book series and know that it's full of interesting facts. And since our presidential election is almost here, it is important that we understand how voting works and its origin. Reading this book will reinforce us yet again that we, as people, have come a long way in deciding our future in society. It was not too long ago, when people in the United States could not vote if they were women or African-American.

And now... we have an African-American and a woman in this year's presidential campaign. It's a humbling experience to read this book and feel the evolution in our society.

VOTE from the EYEWITNESS BOOKS series is a necessary book to read before the election.

For grades 4th grade and up.

THE BATTLE FOR POWER.

You have probably watched on television all the presidential candidates campaigning for the 2008 election. They are all full of promises and in great hope to change the way this country is operating. All of them are going across the country participating in numerous rallies, making speeches and asking citizens to vote for them.
However, if you look back in history, presidential elections have changed drastically. In America’s early days candidates did not go out among the public to solicit votes. Their supporters did the work for them.
This book is a non-fiction book that is written so well that it can be read as a historical fiction and you will really be drawn to read it do to the fact that election is coming up and it will be really cool to know all the stuff that is behind an election. PRESIDENTIAL RACES: THE BATTLE FOR POWER IN THE UNITED STATES by ARLENE MORRIS-LIPSMAN is campaigning for you attention.

For grades four and up.
