Today in social studies, we reviewed the 3 branches of government. My favorite book to use with these lessons is How the U.S. Government Works by Syl Sobel. It's completely kid friendly. Here is a link if you would like to check it out:http://www.amazon.com/How-U-S-Government-Works-ebook/dp/B004EWF0XC/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1360002099&sr=8-13&keywords=syl+sobel
