LaRue for Mayor Letters from the Campaign Trail Book Review

Ike LaRue is back in an all new adventure in LaRue For Mayor Letters from the Campaign Trail written and illustrated by Mark Teague.  When Ike attends a political rally for Hugo Bugwort, he is shocked to hear that Snort City has a "dog problem."  Bugwort believes that the answer is to eliminate dogs from the town.

Ike cannot believe his canine ears!  A Snort City without dogs?  Not on his watch!  After careful consideration, he decides that he too will run for mayor.  Will a series of unfortunate events cost Ike voters?  Will Snort City truly become dogless?

This is another fantastic page turner from Teague.  I loved every second of this story.  Ike's voice is powerful and heartfelt throughout.  Perhaps some of my dogs should run for mayor...

Teague's illustrations are fabulous as always.  He again combines Ike's reality with his imagination to create truly stunning pictures.  I especially love his use of the colors red, white and blue.

Readers of all ages will cheer Ike on in his campaign quest.  This book would also make a wonderful gift for the animal lover in your life.
