Hilarious story. Fun illustrations. A great easy to understand description of the election process.

Starting off Banned Books Week early. "Bad Kitty Runs for President" showed up on a list of banned/challenged books when it was taken out of a Nevada school library. An uncommon example of a single book being struck out while the series is left in (another example being a Texas school banning "A Bad Kitty Christmas" for showing a lesbian couple in the background). What makes this Bad Kitty so much more immoral?
Well, this Bad Kitty book does have a slight shift in tone. It trades some irrelevant humor for a more solid criticism of political campaigning lampooning that makes for a funny (but not yet too satirically helpless kind of funny) experience. The objectionable content seems to be the "Holy %#@$" type that is indicative of...stronger feelings, but incomprehensible to kids who don't know what kind of word it should be substituted for. And since most Bad Kitty humor relies of how this curmudgeonly feline would be cursing her frustration upon Uncle Murray, Puppy, the reader, and all sentient beings, I thought it was a little odd for this title to be singled out.
Maybe the grassroots potty joke was the tip off. Especially since the book called attention to it by putting its own humorous censor in with a digression of Puppy politics while Kitty did her business. But infinitely less vulgar that the actual stuff we hear on the news. Funny, acerbic, another proof that Bad Kitty is still very Good.

Excellent explanations of the political process. I dislike 527 groups and their unlimited spending.

What a great introduction to presidential elections and with its publication so timely, I look forward to sharing this title. And on top of it all, Bad Kitty is just as entertaining as he normally is.

I bought this for my son, since he is stuck at home for a quarantine. Turns out that I loved this more than him. I read this out loud to my 9 year old son. I did funny voices and all. I absolutely loved this book. It was a great explanation of how an election happens. It also makes a great point that it is ok when an election doesn't pan out the way you voted, but that doesn't mean you need to get upset. You just pick yourself back up and get to work for the next election. If you have a child who is asking about the election and you want a fun way for them to learn about it, THIS IS THE BOOK.

This book just wasn't as funny as the other Bad Kitty books. It had potential, but totally fell flat for me.

Did this book just teach my child why superPACs are terrible using entertaining examples? Yes. It was an entertaining book, explained elections- and not just the rah rah America part of elections, and was funny so it didn’t feel like learning. Amazing.
We love all the bad kitty books, and have been reading through all of them, but this one just blew my mind.

Not quite a graphic novel, but not a pic book either. Funny story with a lot of election facts.
