* An ALA Notable Children's Book
* An IRA-CBC Children's Choice
Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed의 저자인 Eileen Christelow가 투표를 통한 민주적인 의사결정 참여라는, 비교적 어린 아이들에는 어려운 정치에 관한 주제를 만화형식의 그림을 통해 쉽고 재미있게 설명해 줍니다.
투표는 모든 사람들이 원하는 의사결정 방법이라기 보다는 다수가 원하는 방향으로 의사결정을 하기 위한 수단입니다. 시장 선거에서도 다수의 득표를 얻은 후보가 시장으로 선출됩니다. 이 책에서는 시장 선거라는 사례를 통해 투표의 의미, 투표 기권의 문제, 투표할 수 있는 연령 제한, 인종이나 성별에 의한 차별이 없는 공평한 투표권의 보장, 투표권자 등록, 선거운동의 방법, 정당의 역할, 선거공약의 의미, 자원봉사자의 역할, 정치자금, 투표소에서의 절차, 투표결과의 승복이나 이의제기 등 민주주의의 의미를 어린 아이들이 올바르게 이해할 수 있도록 쉽게 설명해 줍니다.

표지가 두꺼운 판지나 보드지가 아닌 비교적 얇은 종이를 사용해서 만든 책이며, 실박음질 대신에 풀로 제본처리하는 경우가 많습니다. 일반적으로 하드커버나 보드북에 비해서 가격이 저렴합니다. 소프트커버로 불리우기도 합니다. 책의 이음새 부분이 접히거나 휘는 내구성이 그리 좋지는 않은 책입니다.

Book Description
Using a town's mayoral election as a model, this lively introduction to voting covers every step in the process, from the start of the campaign all the way to the voting booth. There's even a recount! The cast of characters includes two dogs (and a cat), whose questions and comments mirror those of young readers and help to explain some of an election's more confusing aspects. Told with clarity and wit in Eileen Christelow's signature comic-book style and vetted by an expert in voter education, this look at how we choose our leaders turns an often daunting topic into an exciting narrative. Who would have guessed that learning about voting could be so much fun? A timeline of the history of voting in the United States, a glossary of words associated with voting, a discussion of American political parties, and a list of Internet resources are included.
Booklist *Starred Review*
"It's hard to imagine a more accessible introduction to voting....whimsical and creative...Vote aye on this one"
The Washington Post
In this brisk and engaging deconstruction of a small town's mayoral election, Christelow explains the whys and wherefores of the voting process, from campaign kickoff to post-election recount, and why it all matters. Glossary, timeline and wisecracking canines included.
Publishers Weekly
With two wisecracking pooches and the candidate's daughter as pint-size commentators, "this book effectively explains the nuances of the election process using a small-town mayoral campaign as an example," according to PW. "A well-executed book that could serve as a strong kickoff to the 2004 election."
Children's Literature
The election process is brought to life in this fictional account of a town's selection of a mayor. Beginning with the grassroots campaigning and continuing through the election, complete with a recount, this energetic account aptly illustrates the procedures, the legalities, and the emotions of selecting a local leader. Telling the story from the perspective of the daughter of one of the candidates personalizes the story for young readers. Angela is involved every step of the way. She even studies the history of voting, noting when African-Americans and women were included through Constitutional amendments. When Angela's mom wins, everyone rejoices. Presented in Christelow's signature comic book style, all readers will gain an understanding of this important piece of our democratic form of government. Young children will especially enjoy the campaigning and side remarks of Angela's two dogs as they participate along with the rest of the family. Useful reference aids include a glossary, a "Timeline of Voting Rights," some information about political parties, and a list of internet sources.
School Library Journal
Using a fictional mayoral election as an example, the author clarifies the entire voting process from campaigning to casting ballots. Humorous comic-strip-style cartoons, featuring a running dialogue between Elmer and Sparky, one of the candidate's dogs, support the text and keep the tone light.
Kirkus Reviews
After the sorry example of the 2000 presidential election, it's good to be reminded of the simple beauty-and hard-won right-of voting for a candidate. And Christelow goes farther in this primer on the process of electing a candidate. Simple language, gay color, and humorous subplots make for an appealing introduction to electoral politics, and she wisely complements her somewhat dry explanatory text with a typically funny word-bubble story of one woman's mayoral campaign. Readers learn about political parties and polls, voter registration, to be wary of campaign advertising, the right to recounts, and are urged to conduct research into the candidates. There's also a very handy timeline of voting rights that conveys the eye-opening evolution of democracy in the US. Impressively, Christelow gives to each individual vote a sense of importance-an act of participation that nestles in the heart of democracy. |
