This is the story of Amanda, a delightful, imaginative eight-year-old who hasn't any trouble envisioning herself as President of the United States and longs to show her older brother a thing or two.... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Who knows, maybe one of the little girls who are reading CALL ME MADAME PRESIDENT today, or are being read to from this book, will someday take the gentle hint and run herself? A woman in the White House couldn't possibly make the mistakes that the men of the last couple of centuries have made. Pyatt's story is charming, and Amanda is a real cutie. I also like Keith Gaston's pictures, they are both intimate and grand, for Amanda is seen against the always striking Washington DC backdrops that Gaston renders picturesque and almost quaint. Anyone who is feeling patriotic should go out and buy a couple of copies of this book. I don't know if little boys will like it, but ambitious little girls will get a few good ideas here, so as I say--who knows? My grandma used to say, "Great oaks from little acorns grow."
Great for your little girl!!!

This book was simply one of the best children's book I've ever read. It really makes me mad that there aren't more books like this for little girls. Heck, there are books like this for CATS!!!!! Why not little girls? It's as if people think books like this are an infectious disease or something.
very nice
