A New York Times bestseller What do you do when you spot a wild Trump in the election season? New York Times bestselling author and comedian Michael Ian Black has some sage advice for children (and all the rest of us who are scratching our heads in disbelief) in this perfectly timely parody picture book intended for adults that would be hysterical if it wasn't so true. The beasty is called an American Trump. Its skin is bright orange, its figure is plump. Its fur so complex you might get enveloped. Its hands though are, sadly, underdeveloped. The Trump is a curious creature, very often spotted in the wild, but confounding to our youngest citizens. A business mogul, reality TV host, and now...political candidate? Kids (and let's be honest many adults) might have difficulty discerning just what this thing that's been dominating news coverage this election cycle is. Could he actually be real? Are those...words coming out of his mouth? Why are his hands so tiny? And perhaps most importantly, what on earth do you do when you encounter an American Trump? With his signature wit and a classic picture book style, comedian Michael Ian Black introduces those unfamiliar with the Americus Trumpus to his distinguishing features and his mystifying campaign for world domination...sorry...President of the United States.

Although I couldn't stop laughing at the audacity of the author and publisher, this is clearly not a book appropriate for toddlers. Personally, I can't imagine that anyone would mistake it for such. Satire is lost on children. I would also hope that most parents would just let their kids be kids. Plenty of time for them to be thrown into the political mess of adult awareness when they get older and can form their own opinions.
Never cared for mockery of any President, but...

I await A Child's First Book of Creepy Joe (although NONE SUCH books should ever be written about our American Presidents.)
Not really intended for kids

I love when authors are able to turn frustration into creativity.
But the description clearly says it's not really intended for kids. Maybe should add another caveat or modify the title.
