Known for his pull-no-punches hardcore conservative rhetoric, Bill O'Reilly has made a name for himself in the world of politics through his popular news show, The O'Reilly Factor, as well as in his bestselling books. In 2005, The O'Reilly Factor for Kids, his first book specifically geared towards children, soared to the #1 spot as the bestselling nonfiction title for kids. This year, he is back with his follow-up release titled KIDS ARE AMERICANS TOO co-written with Charles Flowers. With their down-to-earth dialogue that is appealing to the younger generation, O'Reilly and Flowers take us on a journey through the judicial system from our forefathers to present day. From court cases to simple constitutional rights, the how and why often puzzling to youth is simply laid out so that the reader is able to make sense of the confusing jargon that literally governs our country today. A noteworthy section of the book is their explanation of the court system and especially their dissection of the Supreme Court. What is most fascinating is the spin they put on the relevance of the court's decisions in relation to the day-to-day occurrences that affects our lives. Whether we realize it or not, the appointment of these nine individuals is ultimately one of the most significant decisions that a president can make during his term. Of course, O'Reilly and Flowers dish the scoop concerning a student's rights in school which alone is worth the price of the book. What is most interesting is the rationale behind a school's administrative decisions when dealing with hot topics such as the right to search a student's locker. This is important information that not only students, but also parents need to know. KIDS ARE AMERICANS TOO is a fresh look at our complex world told by two men who have their finger on the pulse of what is happening right now in American. As the holidays quickly approach, this book should be on the top of every child's holiday gift list. It's about time we all learned how our country is really governed.
