"What does it mean to vote, and how do we do it? I admire picture books that use entertaining narration and appealing art to teach children about things we assume -- often wrongly -- they understand. Shulman starts in school ('Imagine you're choosing a classroom pet') and moves on to the nuts and bolts of selecting our government. Bloch's frisky line drawings make democracy look like a ton of fun, and the coveted 'I Voted' sticker, of course, provides a brilliant ending."-- The New York Times "In a fraught political epoch, partisan angst often makes its way into books for young readers. So hats off to Mark Shulman and Serge Bloch for keeping things even-tempered with 'I Voted', a picture book that introduces children ages 3-7 to a basic democratic concept without trying to instill anxiety or indignation. The text is clear and lively, and Mr. Bloch's stylish, color-splashed line drawings . expand on it in a humorous way.

" -- The Wall Street Journal "Comprehensive and forthright."-- Kirkus Reviews "Bloch's balletic ink line--punctuated with color washes and textural elements in red, white, and blue--and Shulman's crisp prose means there'll be no sleeping through this civics class. A simple volume with a vital message'"-- Publishers Weekly "Bloch's cheerful red, white, and blue illustrations pair perfectly with the text, producing a joyful, engaging book that encourages responsible citizenship." -- School Library Journal "Shulman leads pre- and primary schoolers through the voting process, from the concept of making a choice through to the sticker hopefully presented to the youngster who tags along with a voting adult. Bloch's cast of diverse citizens are rendered in roughly sketched black line and splashes of color that happily overrun their outlines, adding a touch of sophistication that gives the title the flexibility to span grade levels." -- The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books.
