This book is a great resource to use when teaching about presidents and elections. It features different boys and girls that want to be president. They talk about their qualities and are looking for your vote!

This is one of the books in the Amazing Adaptations! series; this particular book covers sea creatures with fins and flippers. From bigger sea life like seals and dolphins to smaller species of fish, the book has beautiful, brightly colored pictures and features all sorts of fun sea life. This is for younger readers, with relatively simple text that explains the use of fins and flippers, and how they benefit sea life.
