Staff Pick
Undoubtedly timely, and perhaps more relevant than expected, this picture book needs to be experienced by as many adults as kids. Funny, innovative, and topical... let me just say, I'm voting DUCK! Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:My fellow Americans: It is our pleasure, our honor, our duty as citizens to present to you Duck for President. Here is a duck who began in a humble pond. Who worked his way to farmer. To governor. And now, perhaps, to the highest office in the land. Some say, if he walks like a duck and talks like a duck, he is a duck. We say, if he walks like a duck and talks like a duck, he will be the next president of the United States of America. Thank you for your vote. Review:"Lewin's characteristic humorous watercolors with bold black outlines fill the pages with color and jokes. Cronin's text is hilarious for kids and adults and includes a little math and quite a bit about the electoral process." School Library Journal Review:"Lewin's chunky-outlined watercolors continue to cater to the younger crowd with her usual dashes of humor and daffy sweetness. Her depictions of the campaign-trail motorcades, parades and town meetings are a hoot." Publishers Weekly Review:"[T]he comedy flows freely on more levels than one, and there's sufficient hilarity for all." Kirkus Reviews Synopsis:My fellow Americans: It is our pleasure, our honor, our duty as citizens to present to you Duck for President. Here is a duck who began in a humble pond.
