Uh oh! The children at Washington School have a huge problem. Their Student Body President is a mean duck who is ruining the school with his lies and bullying. Will the other students be able to stop him and make their school great again?


"What’s so funny?” Parents will laugh out loud at this political satire. Children will see how bullying, lying, and discrimination don't pay off, and learn the importance of kindness, teamwork, and voting.

Tackles an emotive subject in a clever way!

Tackles an emotive subject in a clever way!
I absolutely love this book. It’s tackles an emotive subject in a clever way. As an adult I can appreciate the satire but more importantly my children loved the story and the bright illustrations. The story provides an opening for discussions on a very important subject. I can see how this could create divide, but that’s even more reason to buy the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Story for Kids About Fighting for What's Right

My 3 1/2 year old son was mesmerized by this book. And so was I! I found myself getting more and more animated as I read it. Our little ones are growing up in a time when the leadership in our country is modeling bullying, racism, sexism, and flat-out lying. This was a wonderful message acknowledging that this reality unfortunately exists, but that there is something we collectively can do about it with a different future as our goal. Bravo!

Brilliant!! What is amazing is that the author did not have to take ANY poetic license to veil the subject of this book. This book holds a mirror to the reality of today’s political climate and helps children make sense of what they see on television on a daily basis. Bravo to the author for teaching kids the power and importance of voting in a way kids can understand!

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely the very best satire of the president. Presented appropriately as a children’s book!

Professionally written for ‘children’ with superb accompanying illustrations. My black Labrador and I have participated in ‘Read to a dog’ at elementary schools and libraries for several years. Over that time, we have listened to children read all manner of ‘children’s’ books. ‘Do Not Vote for the. Duck’ is absolutely perfect for the more accomplished of today’s young readers.

This is a great book that teaches children about the importance of taking a stand against what’s wrong. It teaches them that they can make the change. It promotes kindness. It’s everything we want our children to learn as they grow up in this crazy world. I highly recommend!

1.0 out of 5 stars Mean Spirited. For children? Really?
Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2020
Verified Purchase
Clever lies, misrepresentation, nasty, disrespectful, and deceitful. And you want to train our children to be like you? Eeeyew.

Gee, this book hit #1 in THREE categories:
#1 in Children's Politics & Government
#1 in Children's Philosophy Books
#1 in Children's Duck Books [only 2 other books in this free category ! Ha ha.]

Those first two obscure categories are EXACTLY where I would go when looking for kid's books. What a SNEAKY CHEAT!

Maybe categorize the book for what it is: ADULT liberal hate satire.

It's obvious this author draws her views from mainstream media lies that pass for "news" these days; and, gosh, thanks for sharing your strong left, liberal bias.

If this nastiness is used to teach our children, heaven help our country and the next generation... because they will believe it's ok to act the way the author does - demeaning the office of President, and not even telling the truth.

Thoroughly enjoyed reading this book with the children... well written and illustrated, with a nice rhyme that often appeals to younger ones. The author plays with political wit/humour relevant to the current environment, but at its heart are good lessons for children on behavior, diversity & leadership. Recommended!

Do I detect political undertones?! A jolly intro into the murky world of a despot duck.
And even if my kids didn’t get the subtext they enjoyed the pictures, and it got us talking about values and ultimately seeing good triumph over evil!
