That's Not Fair!: Getting to Know Your Rights and Freedoms

(4) K-3 CitizenKid series. Illustrated by Dharmali Patel. A mayor tries to create arbitrary laws and then learns lessons when citizens stand up for their rights. The book successfully demonstrates that strong democracies need active citizens to survive. Cartoony monster-like creatures populate the purposeful and wordy framing vignettes, which are broken up by inserts of information about democratic rights and questions for reflection ("Why did Mayor Moe decide to stop the protest parade?").
