What Your Kids Should Be Reading This Summer

"Bad Kings"
By Gilda Cordero-Fernando

This is a good primer on politics for kids because misbehaving leaders are well-represented in the four short stories included in it. Though the setting and the tone of the stories are classic in the "Chronicles of Narnia" tradition, the wit and unexpected humor are very modern. Young readers will surely get the joke and laugh along with it.
