In this charming early chapter book, Fergus and Zeke, the beloved class pets, embark on a school project about presidents. Zeke, transforming into 'George Mousington,' nominates himself president of their cage, leading to friction with Fergus. The story gently explores themes of leadership, teamwork, and friendship as the mice navigate their disagreements to complete their project. It's a delightful read for children aged 4-11, offering relatable scenarios about cooperation and managing big feelings when working with others.
Fergus and Zeke love being the class pets in Miss Maxwell's room, and they do everything the students do. So when Miss Maxwell informs the class that Presidents' Day is approaching and they'll all be creating projects about the presidents, Fergus and Zeke get to work, too. Zeke tramsforms into George Mousington and nominates himself president of their cage. But when Zeke seems more interested in being in charge than in working on their project, Fergus gets frustrated. Will these two mice be able to agree on what makes a good president - and a good friend - in time to present their project with the rest of the class? --Jacket cover.
