  • American Government: Office of the President

    John Perritano

    Paperback (Saddleback Educational Publishing, Inc., April 1, 2016)
    The Office of the President handbook details the specific jobs of the president, including chief of state, chief executive, and commander-in-chief, plus the role of the president s cabinet and the limited powers of the office. Five unique handbooks comprise the new American Government series. With the confusing political discourse in today s world, it s no wonder kids tune out. How can we tune them back in? The stale descriptions in standard American government textbooks do nothing to motivate learning. The readability is too high. And the language too dry. How can we make it personal? Accessible? Interesting? Even humorous?
