 We Like Ike!! February 22, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
My 12 year old daughter and I have been waiting for the 3rd Ike LaRue book, so when she came home from school today and saw it waiting for her she lit up and was so excited!! She sat down and started reading right away, instead of turning on the the TV (Thank you Mark Teague!)..
Highly recommend all 3 books, so much fun.

While by nature I'm more of a cat person (I have two), I can't help but think that a lovely little dog like Ike LaRue would make life a lot of fun. LaRue for Mayor is the third book in which Ike has wowed readers with his cunning intelligence, playful antics and knack for being in the right place at the right time.
In this third book, Mrs. LaRue is in the hospital, and Ike is writing her to complain how unjust it is that dog-hater Hugo Bugwort is running for Mayor of Snort City. Sure some dogs over-turned a hot-dog cart and disrupted a baseball game, but isn't that just the spirited behavior of a few dogs? Should Bugwort be proposing a leash law, a curfew and a ban on canines in most public places? Ike thinks not, and decides to run for Mayor himself.
Teague really has created a wonderful picture book that will appeal to both children and adults. For kids there are bold, brightly colored illustrations of dogs behaving rather mischievously. For adults there are the contrasting black and white illustrations of Ike imagining his actions to be more grandiose than they really are. Ike is a small dog with a big personality, and I can't say it any better than to say I LIKE IKE. I think you will too.
