By Valerie Wyatt, Illustrated by Fred Rix, Kids Can Press, 2009
An exceptionally good book introducing kids to all the various components of building and running a country, using real-life examples. Everything from finding a chunk of land and staking out your identity to keeping the peace is included in step-by-step directions. The conversational, friendly and funny narrator is a pleasure to read. The cartoons add fun to the whole process. All together a great book and exercise for elementary classrooms, a family project, or any adventurous kid.
From the Citizen Kid series, “A collection of books that infor childen about the world and inspire them to be better global citizens.”

Awesome blog!
I thought about starting my own blog too but I’m just too lazy so, I guess I‘ll just have to keep checking yours out.
LOL,
