President Pennybaker Listener Reviews
-
" A cute story! Luke did have a major gripe. If my kids did everything I asked like that I would not say NO! I would give them a hug and a TV watching limit. "
— Stephanie, 7/30/2013 -
" A cute book for election time, could be used as a read aloud then discussed with elections. Students would love the sillyness of the main character being president. Recommended for first and second graders. "
— Sarah, 6/19/2013 -
" My second grade teacher, Mrs. Chapman, would be very proud. What color would you paint the White House? Which party are you a member of? Grass roots at their finest! Children and the President both have 'tough jobs'. "
— Lori, 1/25/2013 -
" Ah, if only presidential politics were this simple--and honest! "
— The, 9/16/2012 -
" If you want your kids to read about how "life's not fair" then go for it. "
— Rena, 6/3/2012 -
" A little strange that the author made a point of the age to vote but not the age to run for president. "
— Lorie, 2/11/2012 -
" Prefer Duck/Grace for president to explain the election and how it works. Truly shows what a tough job the president has! "
