Kishel, Ann-Marie. Citizenship. Minneapolis: Lerner, 2007. ISBN 978-0-8225-638-3. $17. Ages 5-7. 24 pp.

This straightforward, small-sized book conveys both the excitement of becoming a citizen and instructs the reader on what citizenship means—voting, obeying laws, caring for each other and for the environment, etc. The text is minimal, geared well to its 5-7 year-old audience. In the photos we see the faces of people who look just like us—the highly diverse U.S. citizenry. Useful for the classroom, the book “supports national social studies education standards.”
