What Is a Presidential Election?: with Activities, Stickers, and a Poster! (What Was?) Paperback – Import, 30 June 2020

Looking for a fair and unbiased book about the election process for your kids for the 2020 election? This is not it.Please see the attached photos in my review so that you can make up your own mind whether or not your political viewpoints are accurately represented in this book.I’m giving it 2 stars instead of one because I believe the author did do a moderately fair job of explaining the electoral college.

It leans to the left It is completely updated through trump, which is appropriate. They did discuss all the candidates from the primaries from the 2016 election as well. The stickers and questions are fun and basic enough for children to understand and learn about our mostly two party system and how a republic works.i wish they went a little Deeper in the electoral college

Wish they left out Trump but this is great especially for the current election year.

I have loved all of the Who Was books and was very happy to see that they had a book on elections. With all that is going in the world I thought it would be a good, basic book that my kids could read to get an idea of what happens every 4 years in our country. I was surprised to see that the book concentrated on the 2020 election and the 2016 so much. It seemed like they had to point out things about Trump that really weren't relevant to what the subject was. I was looking for an all around informational book that was unbiased. Unfortunately this is not it. Very disappointed as I truly thought this collection of books was the only thing out there that just gave the facts, no opinions. It almost was like the author couldn't help themselves. I also had hoped for books about the Supreme Court and what is was. Unfortunately all I could get was one on RBG. It seems like this collection has been completely taken over by the left and pushing a narrative. Very sad.

She have enjoyed this series but are disappointed at how the author portrayed ideas and events in this book. Most of it was well written and informative but the misleading didactic choices were misleading and made it necessary to explain the actual platforms. The most glaring problem is the section on the electoral college. The author completely misrepresents the electoral process and makes the argument based on feeling while leaving out why the electoral college was created in the first place. I hope the author can fix that section to reflect reality.
