In my opinion, the notable feature of this book is the stunning illustration. Brunting has done a magnificent job of producing bold, vivid illustrations that convey the meaning of the text. The story line is clever, a cat and dog are running against each other for president. Which one would you choose? At the outset each animal presents a case according to personal likes and dislikes. Pretty soon, things start to get ugly and the mud slinging begins. Text is fairly simple and written in rhyme, which works for the most part but occasionally seems a bit forced. Dweck presents just enough elements of a real political campaign to help children age four and up to understand what the electoral process is about. The conclusion both candidates arrive at is a lesson that many of our real political candidates might want to seriously think about.
