Fergus and Zeke for President (Fergus and Zeke)
Reading Level: 2nd − 3rd Grade
Series: Fergus and Zeke

Can classroom mice Fergus and Zeke work together to finish their project on American presidents--even when Zeke gets bossy?

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.

A wholesome, solid story with fun characters.

Review quotes

The kids—and the use of historical and presidential facts—are a backdrop to the engaging storyline of Zeke's comedically flawed (and likably relatable) self-centeredness, but the value-driven thematic inspiration is an effective motivator for Fergus' assertiveness. The resulting combination of silliness and broad-strokes idealism creates a rounded story structure. . . A wholesome, solid story with fun characters.
