An ABC of Democracy (3) (Empowering Alphabets)

Great book for children!

I found this book really interesting, and I learned some things that I did not already know. My daughter liked looking at the beautiful, bright images in the book, although she did not really understand what the book was about, as she is still a bit young for it. The book is all about democracy, using an alphabet structure to explain different concepts surrounding politics and government. For example, C is for Climate, P is for Politician, J is for Justice and H is for Human Rights. This is a fantastic book for children of any age, as they will enjoy the colourful images and the alphabet, but older children will be able to understand the writing more. Highly recommended!

I love these books. They're a brilliant, fun, vibrant style. Like the others in the series, the book looks at one specific theme/ topic and then with the help of the alphabet helps children to understand what that theme really means through the use of specific vocabulary, The vocabulary isn't simplified but each term is expertly explained so that a young audience can grasp the meaning. The illustrations help to embed the meaning of the vocabulary that is being explained. I really liked the call out at the start of the book to write letters to leaders and protest in what you believe in.Thank you #NetGalley and #QuartoKids for eARC

I felt this worked extremely well as a basic introduction to some complex issues. Key points about democracy and how it works are dealt with, alongside ways even those who cannot vote yet, can get their voices heard. It's bright and bold illustrations, together with clear and simple text make it very accessible and engaging. A book that can be independently read, or used to discuss key issues around democracy with children.My thanks to NetGalley and Frances Lincoln for the ARC in return for an honest review.
