Summary: My sons favorate book
Comment: This is a cute book that was very well written. My son likes the mouse story and giggles every time I read it to him. It features "The Senate Mousejority leader and the Sqeaker of the House". Parents that are in to politics will get a good laugh out of reading this one.

Summary: Qualified Recommendation
Comment: This book is fairly well done, but treats an enor-mouse-ly complex subject very simply (by necessity, of course). Despite it's simplicity, it still seems too complex for the age bracket it is aimed at (4-7 years). The drawings are adequate, but there are some perspective problems. The rhymes are adequate, but tortured in places. This book would seem to be either a great primer if you plan to take your children to Washington DC or a great souvenir of a trip there. As a lesson of how government works, I am a little more dubious. The great value of the book is the connection of system with place (such as committee room or house floor), not as a lesson of how the system works. The separation of representatives and the people is also a bit disconcerting, from a Jeffersonian point of view. The story would have been improved if the students that developed the idea of a "national cheese" would have been allowed to follow their idea through the process, rather than just send a letter and see the results on TV. Senator Thurmouse, well, that's just downright spooky.
