Book Summary

    As a reward for winning the soccer championship, Davy is chosen mayor for a day.  Tired of his parents’ rules, Davy’s first official act is to eliminate all rules.  Davy and his friends thought they would have a wonderful time, but the day was a disaster for everyone.  The whole town becomes angry, but Davy finally saves the day.
    In this graphically illustrated and fascinating story, Sommer shows the importance of citizenship, rules for maintaining civic virtue, and respect for the law.
    “‘Mayor for a Day’ has been selected as one of the BEST Children’s books that Today’s Librarian reviewed in 2000.”  Keri Davies, Publisher, Today’s Librarian
