Making a Law
by Sarah De Capua

Review by Latricia

The Making a Law book talks about how congress makes laws. The first step in making a law is for somebody to come up with a law, then they introduce the bill to a representative.  After that you will go to committee and they will vote.  Then you have a debate and lastly you will take it to the president.  The president will either pass it or veto it. 

I liked this book because it tells a lot about how to make a law.  It also tells the order of how you  make a law with details and context clues of what goes on in the real world and congress.  It is age appropriate for middle school because we learned about this in our civics class.

  1. Latricia, great job connecting your book to what you are learning in civics class! I kept hearing the "I'm Just a Bill" song going through my head as I was reading your review! There should be a law about songs that get stuck in your head! Mrs. Haas

  2. Nice job, Latricia! Civics class is my favorite! I really like learning about this kind of thing, which kind of explains why all of my book reviews are on civics-related books.
