Publisher Summary
When the president of the United States has a frustrating day, he decides to go back to where he learned the most important lessons of all.When his day starts off badly, Mr. President decides he needs a time-out from running the country. Sneaking out of the White House, he hurries to the local school and enrolls in Mrs. Appletree's class. There, Mr. President spins on the merry-go-round, and practices saying "please" and taking turns. But when he returns to the White House, he is greeted by panic and two angry world leaders. Fortunately, Mr. President recalls what he learned in Mrs. Appletree's class, and he comes up with just the right approach to avoid an international crisis.
Children will delight in Rick Walton's laugh-out-loud story and its over-the-top take on conflict resolution. Brad Sneed's watercolor illustrations capture the humor of the story with their exaggerated, outsized characters and playfully distorted compositions.
