Summary

Mean Mrs. Green is forcing everyone to run for something in the school election, but everyone just wants to run for their lives! YIKES! Hubie is running for president against Doris. But he doesn’t think he stands a chance against the free ice cream that she’s giving away to voters. Will being the candidate who stands for something— not just who stands on top of something—be enough to win him the race in the end?

Author Biography

A children's book editor saw one of these cartoons and encouraged Mike to write for children. Since then, Mike has written over 140 children’s books and has become known as America’s “Riddle King.” Mike says that writing and riddles are a powerful way to stimulate a child’s interest in learning and creating. He is an award-winning author and illustrator and has been called “one of the most creative people in children’s literature.” Mike currently lives in Canby, Oregon. Jared Lee has illustrated more than 100 books for young readers.
