From voting for class pet to voting for leaders of government, the Seussian-style rhyming text by Bonnie Worth describes in simple terms how voting gives everyone a choice. It also details what voters do and how an election works. Cheerful illustrations by Aristides Ruiz and Joe Mathieu help readers by presenting the comical circumstances of Thing One running against Thing Two in an election. Which character will be the victor? No matter the outcome, your child is sure to be the winner by gaining an understanding of the importance of voting in this latest addition to The Cat in the Hat’s Learning Library series.
