Fergus and Zeke for President: Candlewick Sparks -- Kate Messner

<b>"The kids--and the use of historical and presidential facts--are a backdrop to the engaging storyline. . . . A wholesome, solid story with fun characters."--<i>Kirkus Reviews</i></b> <p/>It's Presidents' Day, and all the students in Miss Maxwell's classroom are choosing their special projects. Classroom pets Fergus and Zeke want to participate, too! Zeke appoints himself president of their cage. But the power goes a bit to his head, and his "leading" and "supervising" leave Fergus to do all the work. Will these two mice be able to agree on what makes a good president--and a good friend--in time to turn in their project with the rest of the class? Humorously illustrated and sprinkled with presidential trivia, this fifth title in the delightful series is a winning candidate.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Kate Messner<br><b>Publisher:</b> Candlewick Press (MA)<br><b>Published:</b> 01/07/2025<br><b>Pages:</b> 56<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.30lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 9.20h x 5.80w x 0.30d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781536241990<br><b>Audience:</b> Ages 9-12<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 3.4<br><b>Point Value:</b> 0.5<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Lower Grade<br><b>Quiz #/Name: </b>519816 / Fergus and Zeke for President<br><br><p><b>About the Author</b><br><b>Kate Messner</b> is passionately curious and writes books for kids who wonder, too.
