Everyone has bad days. Even the president.
One particularly awful day, Mr. President decides he needs a time-out from running the country. After donning a clever disguise, he sneaks out of the White House, hurries down the street to the elementary school, and rejoins the class of his old teacher, Mrs. Appletree.
Mr. President gets back to basics in Mrs. Appletree's class. He slides his fingers through globs of finger paint. He practices saying "please," raising his hand, and taking turns. And when everyone does the hokey pokey, Mr. President gleefully shakes it all about.
Later, he returns to the Oval Office to find the prime ministers of Bulrovia and Snortburg on the brink of war. Thinking fast, Mr. President draws on the lessons he learned in Mrs. Appletree's class to bring the two leaders together, solving the world's problems with a little respect, a little kindness, and a whole lot of fun.
Children will delight in Rick Walton's laugh-out-loud story and its over-the-top take on conflict resolution. Brad Sneed's watercolor illustrations capture the story's humor with exaggerated, outsized characters and playfully distorted compositions.
