This silly story has an important message about the importance of contentment and the fact that you never really know what someone else’s life is like until you live it for a while! Against a backdrop of carefully crafted humor and engaging illustrations, the duck makes bigger and bigger goals until he realizes that what he was missing wasn’t a new and better job, but an attitude of gratitude. A story to enjoy for its masterful telling as well as its message, this one will be sure to engage readers again and again. When Duck gets tired of working for Farmer Brown, his political ambition eventually leads to his being elected President.

My fellow Americans:

It is our pleasure, our honor, our duty as citizens to present to you Duck for President. Here is a duck who began in a humble pond. Who worked his way to farmer. To governor. And now, perhaps, to the highest office in the land.

Some say, if he walks like a duck and talks like a duck, he is a duck.

We say, if he walks like a duck and talks like a duck, he will be the next president of the United States of America.

Thank you for your vote.
