This book introduces readers to the workings of American government through every kid's favorite rodent a mouse! As the authors explain, every four years, just like human Americans, the United Mice of America elect a president. Through President Woodrow G. Washingtail and his family, kids learn about presidential responsibilities as well as life in the White House where these mice work and play side-by-side with our very own First Family. This book became so popular that it is the first of a series.

Noteworthy Features:

• Teaches about the government and presidents
• Illustrations are very colorful and detailed

I would use this book to begin teaching students about the White House, the presidents, and the government. Students will find this book to be very humorous. It is a great way to introduce these topics to students in a fun and engaging manner.
