President Pennybaker

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Diane Goode. While banished to his room for a time-out, gradeschooler Luke Pennybaker, lamenting life's unfairness, decides to run for president. Hot on the campaign trail, Luke promises such "fair" policies as any-time-of-day dessert and optional homework. The text is delectably deadpan in its silliness. In the watercolor illustrations, the grown-up politicians have a gray, curmudgeonly gravitas in contrast to redheaded Pennybaker's chutzpah.
