An interactive, joyful celebration of classroom elections and the power of voting.

Fins, paws, wings, or claws? With so many choices for a new class pet, these kids has the big task of picking a critter to become part of their classroom family. To make sure it's all fair and square, they put it to a vote! As the students make posters to support their choice and excitedly submit their ballots, readers can join the chants and cheers to make sure everyone rocks that vote!

★ "Fleming’s rhymes focus on characteristics instead of specific candidates . . . Cummins’s mixed-media art evokes the scrawled excitement of youthful creativity . . . Illustrations feature kids of various abilities, skin tones, and hair textures, creating an inclusive, enthusiastic picture book about the power of community and of choice." —Publishers Weekly, starred review

"The brightly colored illustrations—a mix of gouache, colored pencil, brush marker, and digital finishing touches—present a vibrant classroom full of diverse children, and the text features a flowing rhyme scheme that reads aloud beautifully.” —Kirkus

"Fleming’s energetic text is perfectly matched by Cummin’s vibrant illustrations. Rhyming books are notoriously tricky to pull off, and Fleming manages that feat. Cummin’s art echoes pictures that could be proudly displayed on elementary school walls. Together, they provide a pitch-perfect image of a classroom election . . . With this story, young readers will be inspired to rock that vote as soon as they’re given the chance." —New York Journal of Books
