If I Ran for President by
Catherine Stier
Would
you like to be President of the United States? If you
ran for president, would you know what to do? In If
I Ran For President, six kids...one of them who looks
like YOU...will take turns telling you the steps they
would take to get to election day.
The
pictures are cute and it's easy to understand.

Elect
the Chief
to the tune of "Hail to the
Chief"
Elect
the Chief!
He's our President who'll lead us!
Elect the Chief!
May we help you to campaign?
With posters and stickers
And even some commercials.
First comes the primaries
To choose our candidates.
Make a good speech
So everyone will cheer you!
Debate the others
So we'll know where you stand.
We'll go to the polls
And cast our vote for you now!
Good luck, Americans!
The future's in your hands!
