- W1995555967 abstract "Reviewed by: Vote for Me! Hope Morrison Clanton, Ben . Vote for Me!; written and illus. by Ben Clanton. Kids Can, 2012. 40p. ISBN 978-1-55453-822-5 $18.95 Ad 5-8 yrs. This tongue-in-cheek parody features two political candidates, a donkey and an elephant, bragging about their individual strengths, complimenting the voters, making promises they don't intend to keep, name-calling, and engaging in a shouting battle (complete with literal mudslinging). In the end, the two calm down, admit that they didn't mean all the terrible things they said to each other, and anxiously await the results of the election. When the final count reveals that the Independent Mouse is the winner, the donkey and elephant start once again digging in to one another (Actually, I was the BEST CHOICE. Nuh-uh! Yuh-huh! Nuh-uh! Yuh-huh infinity!) while Mouse drives off jubilantly beneath a sprinkling of ticker tape. This is more extended joke than developed story, and the humor, especially the election result, caters mainly to adults. Some young listeners, however will simply appreciate the hilarity of an elephant/donkey argument, especially one that becomes a mud fight. Clanton (who also illustrated Adderson's Jasper John Dooley, reviewed above) works in mixed media (pencil, watercolor, copy paper, elephant poop paper and digital magic) and takes the partisan humor further by using only [End Page 504] red and blue colors against the loose sketchy lines of donkey and elephant, with red as the background for the elephant and blue for the donkey, of course; the text, all in speech bubbles, is helpfully differentiated by font as well. The facial expressions are particularly hilarious, especially as each of the candidates delves further and further into a state of complete and utter rage. While not nearly as kid-centric as Willems' Elephant and Piggie books, this may appeal to a similar crowd. Copyright © 2012 The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois" @default.
