Last Year I had the chance to review the book, the Caramel Apple Election. It is a fabulous way to teach about voting. It not only explains what voting is, it also covers concepts as what to do when there is a tie vote and absentee ballots. I chose to use the book with my own children for the review.
The book comes with ballots and "I voted" sticker templates in the back. I really like that the activity models actual voting. My hubby and I bring our boys to the voting booths with us to expose them to the voting process. So, this book and subsequent activities cemented the concept for them.
The book has a charming tale of a family who cannot agree on what type of apple is better with caramel, green or red. So, they make the decision to have a mock election at their school. The family is extremely likeable and fun.
The book is recommended for Kindergarten through twelfth grades. I read it to my five and nine year old. My five year old had a difficult time paying attention as the book was a little lengthy for him. The nine year old enjoyed it very much.
We followed up the book by having the whole family do our own caramel apple election. Four of us preferred the green apple and one favored both. It was a blast!
