Reviews
* "Smith's understated text is accompanied by clean, cleverly designed compositions... In what appears to be mixed media involving digital and hand-painted scenes as well as collage, the artist creates a '60s feel with earth-toned backgrounds that resemble the faux grass wallpapers so evocative of the period... As in Smith's other spoofs, this book blends message with medium for maximum delight.... Hail to the chief!"-- School Library Journal, starred review, * "Whether the U.S. gets a woman president is still in doubt, but here a female narrator has already taken the role. In this sly, witty recitation of a president's responsibilities, a pony-tailed girl has the list down pat: give executive orders (to her cat); negotiate treaties (between said cat and dog); kiss babies; and veto, veto, veto.... Kudos to Molly Leach, whose design makes everything from the lettering to the end pages look fabulous. Although there's some winking at adults, this book is very much for kids, who might even come away having learned a bit about presidential duties."-- Booklist, starred review, "Smith, who slyly recast U.S. history in John, Paul, George and Ben , introduces a zealous, freckled girl with presidential aspirations. Refreshingly, Katy skips the hand-wringing and never questions whether a girl could become commander-in-chief-instead, she behaves as if she is president already, fulfilling official duties at home and in school.... Smith gazes into the national future and just as ably skewers the pitfalls of political office."-- Publishers Weekly, "Though the Oval Office here is no more than a messy bedroom, this funny romp lightly delivers a hefty message for today's girls: The White House is yours for the taking."-- Kirkus Reviews, "Most kids merely dream what they'll be when they grow up; Smith's heroine Katy lives the fantasy, charging through her day as self-proclaimed President of the United States.... There's a richness to this zany picture book in its respect for big dreams -- Katy is clearly inspired by the national heroes from Frederick Douglass to Susan B. Anthony who populate her books and adorn her walls.... Katy is a square-jawed force to be reckoned with, by turns smug, determined, conciliatory, outraged, and sweetly childlike.... This is a must-have title that will unite both sides of the (lunchroom) aisle."-- The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, Smith, who slyly recast U.S. history in John, Paul, George and Ben, introduces a zealous, freckled girl with presidential aspirations. Refreshingly, Katy skips the hand-wringing and never questions whether a girl could become commander-in-chief-instead, she behaves as if she is president already, fulfilling official duties at home and in school. Attired in a dark pantsuit, she brashly inserts herself in a Boy Scout "photo op," attends a pet frog's "state funeral" and treats an oral report as a press conference: "No comment. I'll get back to you on that." In mixed-media sequences with emphatic type, Smith mingles earnest words with visual jokes, such as the trail of small American flags Katy leaves in her wake. He depicts the heroine wielding the veto (the cafeteria's tuna casserole gets a nay) and, in florid script, crafts unofficial "Hail to the Chief" lyrics praising "the most awesome one of all" and "her rad administration." At one point, Katy crows in capital letters, "Why, the president is the most important person in the whole wide world!" (Tiny lowercase letters add, "And the most humble.") Smith gazes into the national future and just as ably skewers the pitfalls of political office.-- PW
