This cute children's book provides a playful and non-partisan introduction to the U.S. government, making complex concepts accessible and fun for young readers. I enjoyed how the book uses humor and creativity to engage kids while teaching them about government roles and teamwork. It’s a great read that combines education with entertainment.

Ever wondered what would happen if dogs ran the White House? 🐶🇺🇸 If Otis Was POTUS! is your answer! This adorable book imagines Otis as President and his buddy Sawyer as First Dog, showing how they’d tackle the nation’s challenges with wagging tails and teamwork. It’s a paws-itively fun way to teach kids about the government without getting too serious or partisan. Grab this book and let the fur-filled fun begin! 🐕📚🎉

what a cute book for election season for both young and older readers. this was a cute read and would be a fun addition to a classroom library

“If Otis was POTUS!” written by Slater Harry / illustrated by Yevheniia Lisova - (5 Stars-Out Now) is a brightly illustrated and fun introduction to the office of President and some members of his staff as they help Otis manage a national flea emergency.

Otis is POTUS and along with Sawyer (FLOTUS) and his Head Advisor, Chief of Staff, Press Secretary, Health Secretary, and the Secretary of Transportation, Otis calmly and reassuringly addresses the problem and the nation when fleas begin to spread! The author does a good job of demonstrating rational and non politicized responses and governance to a national problem (COVID anyone?), and I particularly appreciate the “Meet the Cabinet” section at the end of the book, where the real-life canine inspirations for the cabinet members, get their moment. Interestingly, for parents reading this book aloud to their children, the similarity to COVID in the storyline seems pretty obvious and then I remember that kids who would be most interested in this book most likely weren’t born or don’t remember the pandemic. Woof, time goes by.

As always, I appreciate the opportunity afforded me to have an early read by netgalley and SL8R | BookBuzz . Net.

Thank you Netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book. These opinion are completely my own.

Although I am Canadian and do not have a president, I would find a way to vote for Otis. The story was fun, but finding out that the dogs are based on real dogs upper the cuteness factor by 200%. Scooter and I would make a good rotisserie chicken team.

This is such a cute book. Thank you NetGalley and BookBuzz for the book! Such a cute pawsome way to introduce politics to younger ones. The rhymes are cute and it flows well. My favorite part is the Meet the Cabinet at the back of the book!

Thank you BookBuzz.net, Slater Harry, And NetGalley for this arc! If Otis Was POTUS! was such a cute and fun read! I highly recommend reading it to your little ones and your furry ones. The illustrations were amazing and the details and hard work is really shown. It’s also education in some way as Otis deals with a flea outbreak it reminds us about current events from 2020. Thanks again!
