Staake tells of how President Obama honored his campaign promise to his daughters and brought a dog to the White House. The straightforward text sticks to the facts: in short, Senator Ted Kennedy brokered the doggy deal. The effervescent illustrations, a combination of traditional and digital art, have the look of crisply cut paper.
