This book would be good to use around election time, whether it be for a governor, president, or senator. If elections aren't going on, this book could still be used if there is a unit in the curriculum about the government. The students could become engaged in the topic of elections through this fun and brightly illustrated book. This book could also start class elections for older elementary grades.
This book could also be used to teach the importance of reading the words in the pictures, and not just the text on the bottom of the page. The election signs are just as important in this book as the text, since they show the election totals and other important information.
"Duck For President" could also be used to work with predictions. The children could predict what the Duck was going to do next (what position he was going to run for and the ending).
This book can be used for a variety of reasons, and its fun and engaging story and illustrations will keep the children's attention.
