This book was actually picked from my dad because he likes politics and thought I would like reading this book about it (which I did). I got to learn about how politics work and how our country is run.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It is non-fiction with detailed descriptions on politics from the past and present. This book has made me want to join the debate and politics club in secondary school even more than before I had read it.

This is a good book but I don't recommend it to children under 7 as Politics isn't really for little children.

This book showed lots of graphs and visual representations. Though it was a little boring, I liked it because it inspired me to create my own hierarchy pyramid.

I would definitely recommend this book to people who like politics, it gives so much information about politics through time. Also, it gives you many reasons, for example why you can't vote when your young, about other peoples opinions and what politics is! It is also a good choice for those who like non-fiction books about the world. Have a look at some of the other books in this series such as "Money for beginners and Business for beginners." A book recommendation for those who are interested in politics!!!

‘Politics for Beginners’ explores the deluded world of politics, voting, and scandals in a simple and easy to understand way. Look at Politics in history, discover how the government works, and look at today’s big political issues. This book is great for any 9+ that’s interested in politics, wants to see what they can do to solve today’s big problems, or even wants to become a politician themselves.
