I purchased the hardback edition of Day in the Life of the Vice President (the real one, by Charlotte Pence) on 3/19 and received it today (3/21). I’m glad I ordered it when I did as it seems the delivery window is now up to 2-4 weeks. Don’t let the wait deter you though as this book is certainly worth it! I learned of this book from a Fox News interview a couple of days ago, then read about the “parody” version (which I can’t review as I’ve not read it nor will I ever) and decided to order it for my 2nd grader.
It is 40 pages long, written in a rhyming prose from the point of view of a delightful little bunny on his journey accompanying his “grandpa” the Vice President through a day’s work. The story is informative, well written and the illustrations are very nice. Despite any backlash this book has received, there is nothing- read, *nothing*- political at all in the story. The only item a person could even possibly begin to find socially offensive (and I don’t see how, personally) is on pages 36/37 that illustrate an open bible, with a bunny and a man’s hands. The text for this illustration mentions a Bible and a “little prayer before bed”. The Bible is obviously opened to Jeremiah 28 & 29 but no verse text is legible (squiggles for verses). The little prayer mentions nothing contained in such a prayer just that it is a little prayer.
The final 3 pages have a list of 6 resources that are written as non fiction informational text. They do not rhyme. There are historical facts, mentions of previous VPs (including Biden and his contribution of an interesting garden with engraved stones), gives info about an Indiana artist (T.C. Steele), the role of a VP, various government buildings and offices, information about the working Observatory on the site of the VP residence as well as the events therein for people to learn more about space...
....Lastly... the very last paragraph of the book, the very last sentence in the book, in the resource section (again, not a part of the story itself) it mentions that VP Pence makes time for Bible reading and prayer each day and that his faith is a very important part of his life.
This book is not political, religious, indoctrinating, or any other such thing and does not deserve the scorn hurled at it through rival “children’s books”, commentators and individuals who are quite misguided to think that this book has anything to do with “the right”, sexuality, agenda or anything else that must be combatted or railed against.
One good thing- the negative reaction this book has garnered has, I’m sure, driven interest much better than simple small advertising would have. For that, I’m thankful. Another good thing? This book supports charity- against human trafficking, also in support of art therapy. Cool beans!!
