This kids' book was an easy read but it got right down to the nitty-gritty. This book had large print with plenty of color photos. Most of the text was merely stating facts, though I found some interesting. Did you know that the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which overlooks the bridges, tunnels, and airports, has its own  police force of 1,600?

Also, the United States has more than 550 different Native American tribal governments which own businesses like the Hard Rock Café. They also have tribal councils that can collect taxes from their people.

I may keep this interesting book.

Debbie W. Great review, Joe! Actually, as a Canadian, I did know that about the Port Authority! And like the US, Canada has several band councils that self-govern their own reserves, and if properly planned, also own businesses (e.g. Wok Box, Taco Time, etc.) in neighboring communities.
