It's the Law! is aligned to the Common Core State Standards for English/Language Arts, addressing Literacy.RI.1.8 and Literacy.L.1.1. Large color photographs of law-making institutions such as congress and the Supreme Court, along with narrative nonfiction text and a graph of how laws are made, show readers how the law works, how it is decided, how it protects us, and why it is necessary. This book should be paired with "What Are Rules and Laws?" (9781448888603) from the Rosen Common Core Readers Program to provide the alternative point of view on the same topic.
