Mayor for the Day

When a boy named Davy is chosen "Most Valuable Player" on his junior soccer team, he is also chosen to be mayor for a day in his town. He is so excited to make his day fun, that he announces his day to be a day with no rules!In the book, "Mayor for a Day," Davy thinks he'll have a great day when everyone in the town goes without any rules. Unfortunately, things get out of hand with no rules and Davy realizes that rules are a very important part of life.MyParenTime.com highly recommends this book -- it teaches children that rules are indeed a very important part of daily life, and that the world cannot operate in an organized manner without them.

A wonderful book with excellent values. We live in a world where people don't always understand why we need guidelines. This book teaches that rules and guidelines are important. In each of Mr. Sommer's books he teaches positive values in a way that kids can grasp their meaning.

Mayor For a Day is about a boy who gets the chance to be the town Mayor. We have probably all wished at one time or another that we could make some rules disappear, but as Davy the young boy in this story finds out, the town turns into one big disaster. Everyone in town wants everything to go back to normal and Davy and the town learn an important lesson in citizenship and respect for the law. Citizenship is one of the many things my sons school teaches and this would be a great book for elementary schools who value the importance of good citizenship and teaching this to young children.
