BOOK OF THE WEEK
USBORNE POLITICS FOR BEGINNERS BY
LOUIE STOWELL, ALEX FRITH & ROSIE HORE
CHILDREN 8+
Understanding politics is essential for
our younger generation. In a rapidly changing world it is crucial our
children (and adults) realise how governments and our votes can
impact our lives. The colourful and appealing style of this brilliant
book explains and covers key topics such as different types of
government and ideologies, human rights and freedom of speech.
Politics is everywhere and if we don't understand how it works how
can we improve it? A must read.

mysterious stranger, he offers her the world but at what price? This
