Elections, pretty boring for most people, but what about animals?  Cat of Dog for President has a man or woman (it's not disclosed) wondering who to vote for in a US election.  Note the story is applicable to everywhere and a good general lesson about the election process no matter where you live but the illustrations often use the stars, and colours of the American flag on things such as the household furniture, wool, clothing, even the text uses red and blue letters amongst the black.  Anyway the would be voter in this one is told by her father that two men will run and wonders what it would be like if her two pets, a cat and dog competed to get elected instead. She then goes onto explain what each would do in the campaign, including as humans do, try and bribe voters with incentives (wool balls in the case of the cat), give speeches to crowds, and try and make the other person look bad.Cat or Dog for President is formatted to take up the whole screen in landscape mode on the Kindle Fire, with bright high definition fun illustrations.  The text appears as part of the image on a ribbon ensuring there is no way they end up on different screens like unfortunately a lot of hastily put together Kindle books do.  Formatting a book to take up the entire screen should really be the norm and mandatory for sale here on Amazon but it's not yet the case, so I always like to give accolades where they're due to the authors who take the time to ensure their reader's experience is as good as it should be.A good tale to bring out when there's a local or even national election if your kid is at the age where they are curious about it to stimulate further discussion.
