Our Review Panel says...

A picture book story written especially to explain the concept of democracy to young children (well suited to KS1). A class of school children get a new pet hamster but cannot decide what to call it. As the children all have different ideas, the teacher decides to hold a class vote and the pupils discover first hand how democracy works in action. There are also teacher notes and activities in the back of the book.
