At Kids Can Press, we recognize that viewing a single spread is not always effective when attempting to evaluate reading level, gauging student interest or appraising the quality and detail of illustration in a children’s book.

For this reason, we have worked with Lookybook.com to incorporate full, cover-to-cover previews of select picture books and early reading titles within our on-line store. We believe that Lookybook is the most compelling previewing experience currently available on-line, and that it’s as close and you can get to flipping through pages of the real book in a bookstore, at a trade show or school library. We hope that you will take advantage of this useful feature while browsing through our Web site.

For more information about Lookybook, or to read reviews of our books by librarians, industry experts and moms and dads, visit www.lookybook.com.

Hardcover Jacket USD $16.95 978-1-55453-822-5 Grades: Pre-K to 3 Ages: 4 to 8 Social Studies Cultures, Local & Global Community citizenship Reading Levels: Fountas & Pinnell J Grade Level 2 Reading Recovery 17 © 2012 4-color 8 x 10 40 pages	Hey, you! Yes, you with the dazzling smile! The donkey wants your vote. So does the elephant. And each will do just about anything to win your support. Brag? Sure! Flatter? Absolutely! Exaggerate, name-call, make silly promises and generally act childish? Yes, yes, yes and yes. Soon, the tension mounts, and these two quarrelsome candidates resort to slinging mud (literally) and flinging insults. And what happens when the election results are in? Well, let's just say the donkey and the elephant are in for a little surprise — and a certain bewhiskered, third-party candidate is in for a first term. Vote for Me! is a timely satire of American politics, but it's a story readers of all nationalities and ages will recognize. Comical, retro illustrations (in shades of blue and red, of course) are completely winning, and the duelling duo's insult-laden exchanges promise to have readers laughing out loud. Reviews “An ever-timely message, told in (two) primary colors.” — Kirkus Reviews, January 2012 “Obviously adults are going to get a kick out of this, but the Mo Willems–like presentation, clever coloring (when the candidates make up, the background becomes purple), and universal anti-arguing message will tickle future politicos, too.” — Booklist, April 2012 “Readers too young to vote will still recognize the pitfalls of bad behavior in this satire of unsavory political practices.” — School Library Journal, April 2012 “For children getting their first taste of presidential politics in 2012, this is a worthwhile testimony to the current state of political discourse.” — Publisher's Weekly, February 2012
