In reading this book aloud with my son I was alarmed at the statement that the reason the kid ran for president was because the "Democratic candidate was an idiot and the Republican was a jerk"...books like this are the reason we are having to teach the "Character Counts" and pillars of character in school ...it's not okay to call anyone names. While it may engage kids to want to read the further it's not what I want my son reading. We returned the book.
