The Branches of U.S. Government
by Michael Burgan

Review by Emily

In The Branches of U.S. Government, the author Michael Burgan discusses the three branches of the United States government and what they do.  The legislative branch, which is run by congress, makes the laws.  The executive branch is run by the president, who carries out the laws.  The Judicial branch consists of the courts, and its job is to interpret the law, or make it understandable.  If you want to know more, read this book!

I really liked this book and think that anyone interested in learning about our government and how it works will too!  I'll make a great review for civics as well!
