5.0 out of 5 stars Silly
Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2012

This is a silly book. Silly in a good way. Silly in any way adults and kids can both appreciate. Duck starts out on Farmer Brown's farm, where his jobs are to take out the trash, mow the lawn and grind coffee beans. At the end of each day duck finds himself covered in bits of grass and espresso beans. So he decides to run for Farmer and he wins. But he discovers that running the farm is hard work, so he runs for governor. He wins by just a few votes. But he discovers that being governor is hard work, so he runs for president. He wins by just a few votes but he discovers that being president is hard work. He sees a help wanted ad for a duck who can mow the lawn and grind coffee beans, so he retreats to the farm to write his memoir.

The book is filled with political jokes parents will get. On the title page Duck raises his arms and holds his hands in victory signs like Richard Nixon did so many years ago. His poster in running for Farmer says he's running for a "Kinder, Gentler Farm," not far from George H. W. Bush's slogan.

Duck does all the things a good candidate should do. He even "gave speeches that only other ducks could understand." And every time he wins a new job, he finds he's covered from head to toe in gunk at the end of the day, the gunk just changes with each job.

As kids follow Duck's races, they learn what's involved in a political campaign, and how important each vote is, and one would hope they learn that if a duck can aspire to the highest office in the land, so can they!

The illustrations are very funny. They keep the story moving with their humor. They have details the reader won't notice on the first or second or third reading. This means the book continues to be funny, time after time.

We love this book! It is hillarious and more fun than any presidential election that my students can imagine! We have read and read and read this book and looked at every detail of the pictures. That's what is so great about this book: that you get something new from it with each reading of it. It is a favorite that is requested over and over. Our lesson learned is that we have to work hard in all things but. We can also have fun doIng it!
