Sachar, Louis. 1999. MARVIN REDPOST: CLASS PRESIDENT. New York: Random House. ISBN # 0679989994
Marvin Redpost: Class President is a light and fun story about a fairly ordinary boy who has an extraordinarily special day. This special day begins as the school is observing “hole day”, a day in which everyone wears clothes which are full of holes. This day only gets better when the president of the United States actually visits his school and meets with Marvin’s class to discuss citizenship. Furthermore, Marvin is singled out by the president as a possible future president of the United States. His day is so special that he forgets that he has promised to meet his mother directly after school and finds himself in trouble for being irresponsible. This oversight is forgiven when the reasons behind the irresponsibility are revealed on the evening news. This book is written in short chapters which have support of black and white illustrations. This format is perfect for children whom are just beginning to move into chapter books. Children will enjoy the story and will learn about being good citizens.
