Whether Congress is in session or not, here is an enthralling
overview about the branch of our government closest to average
Americans. Best-selling adult author and the first woman to become
executive editor of The New York Times, Jill Abramson is a
self-confessed political junkie. Now she has written the book she
wishes she'd had as a young reader. Explaining clearly and
concisely what exactly Congress does, this book is peppered with
fascinating stories, including the bloody beating in the Senate of
a lawmaker in pre-Civil War days, the Watergate hearings, and
Senator Joe McCarthy's shameful "witch hunt" of Communists. Kids
may start considering a career in Congress themselves when they
learn fun facts, such as the special "candy desk" in the Senate,
and the fact that all lawmakers can bring their dogs to work! With
80 fun black-and-white illustrations and an engaging 16-page photo
insert, readers will be excited to read this latest additon to this
#1 New York Times Best-Selling series.
