Overview

Just in time for election season, a nomination teachers and students alike will endorse.

Oliver has been learning about the president's job, and his teacher would be the perfect candidate. She loves white houses, she's used to being followed everywhere, she attends lots of meetings, she finds jobs for people, and she believes in peace. Images of Oliver's teacher depicted during a typical school day are contrasted with scenes of his heroine carrying out presidential duties.

A second-grader writes a television station with reasons why his teacher would make a good president, but only if she can continue teaching till the end of the year.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Inspired by TV reports about the upcoming presidential election, a second grader named Oliver catalogues why his beloved teacher, Mrs. Robbins, is ideal for the job. The fun arises from the way Brunkus (the Junie B. Jones books) visually structures the book. On the left side of each spread, she offers a snapshot, framed in a lined-paper border, of Mrs. Robbins (who resembles a slimmed-down version of Barbara Bush) navigating a typical school day with aplomb; on the right, a realistically rendered full-bleed picture shows how President Robbins would apply the same talents and experience to leading the nation. "She's used to being followed everywhere," reports Oliver, as Mrs. Robbins leads a slightly unruly line of students down the hall (posters of past presidents decorate the walls). On the opposite page, President Robbins jogs with her dog, surrounded by an entourage of media people and secret service agents. In a nifty added touch, the artist depicts Oliver as President Robbins's bow-tied but still kid-size aide de camp. But Oliver's nomination has one condition: "Just make sure she doesn't leave before the end of the year." Winters's (Abe Lincoln: The Boy Who Loved Books) narrative set in type that appears handwritten retains a second-grader's simplicity, directness and idealism ("She finds jobs for people.... She believes in peace"). The result is unexpectedly poignant, capturing how unflappable, dedicated teachers such as Mrs. Robbins are commanders-in-chief of not only their classrooms but also their students' hearts. Ages 5-up. (Sept.) Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.

From The Critics
Oliver decides to write a letter to Channel 39 and his premise is an interesting one. The talents and abilities needed to govern the country are the same as those exhibited by Oliver's teacher. So, he reasons, why should not she be elected president? After all, she is followed constantly as is the commander-in-chief. Of course, as the illustrations make clear, she is followed by a straggly line of kids while as president she would be followed by secret service agents and an eager line of reporters and photographers. As president she would sign important bills, but the papers she signs now, such as a bathroom pass for Oliver, are also important. She knows how to put people to work and finds jobs for everyone in the class, so she could campaign on a platform of "More Jobs, More Joy." Oliver's teacher knows how to stop fights in the schoolyard, so why could not she work for peace between nations? Yes, Oliver is sure his teacher could make a wonderful president and he has only one caveat. "Just make sure she doesn't leave before the end of the year." 2004, Dutton/Penguin Young Readers Group, Ages 4 to 8.
