Excellent Author

A wonderful book with excellent values. We live in a world where people don't always understand why we need guidelines. This book teaches that rules and guidelines are important. In each of Mr. Sommer's books he teaches positive values in a way that kids can grasp their meaning.

Mayor For a Day

Mayor For a Day is about a boy who gets the chance to be the town Mayor. We have probably all wished at one time or another that we could make some rules disappear, but as Davy the young boy in this story finds out, the town turns into one big disaster. Everyone in town wants everything to go back to normal and Davy and the town learn an important lesson in citizenship and respect for the law. Citizenship is one of the many things my sons school teaches and this would be a great book for elementary schools who value the importance of good citizenship and teaching this to young children.
