WooHoo!!! It’s President’s Day!!! I don’t have a big sale going on. I’m not even going to any sales. Although I could use some new tennis balls. Oh, I do dream! Anyway, I’m celebrating this big day with a book!!! A book about a President!! Well, it’s really about a girl, much like me, who dreams. She dreams about what life as the President would be like!!
I present to you —
Madam President
by Lane Smith
published by Hyperion Books for Children in 2008
It begins –
A president has many duties.
Well, of course they do!!! Many important duties – like “executive orders to give!” And “lunches to approve!” (I can do that!) And “babies to kiss!” (I can do that too!!) They must “choose a capable cabinet.”
(I have a very nice cabinet, full of very capable toys!) A president must have “her own theme song!” (I’m all about music and Rhythm, right?!) And “keep her head in a crisis!!!!” (Well, I don’t believe I’ve ever lost my head.) And a president must lead by example. (I certainly do that!)
I could be President! Easy Peasy!! But I think I kind of like the job I have, for now. And I like this book – a lot! Girls dreaming of being the president. The most important person in the world! Anything is possible! And that’s what this book is all about. Dreams and Possibilities.
Kid President isn’t a girl. But he does have Dreams —
Dream BIG!

Rhythm for President!!! Yeah! You do have my vote. Well, actually, you’d have mine if I were allowed to vote in the US.
Have a great President’s Day,

Well, if I could run for president and you could vote, we might make quite a team!! 🙂
😉
I think you, Rhythm, would do a much better job than what we have now… You have my vote! 🙂
Well, thanks for that vote of confidence! But I think I’m more inclined to run along after the president than run for president! 😛
Why on earth do politicians feel the need to kiss babies??! I can imagine the she-fleshling’s reaction if a politician had ever tried to kiss one of her babies. It would have been a media field day.
How about if I were to kiss her babies? Some folks don’t like me kissing their babies! Imagine! Do you kiss the babies? Or vice versa? Does the new pup kiss the babies? Maybe politicians are trying to be like dogs?!
I personally don’t kiss babies on account of having no lips. Rosie does kiss babies, with the particular babyish fleshling in this house unimpressed with said kissing.
You’d be a great president, R. A good president needs a big heart – and you’ve surely got that!
Love and licks,
Cupcake
Love to see a book featuring a female president.
Me too, Ms Tilton!!! This book is full of POSSIBLITY!!! 🙂
Rhythm, are you old enough to be president? You don’t look it!
I’d vote for you, Rhythm, and Walker (for Vice-President)! And for this book! It sounds really great! 😀
