There's a saying: "If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog." Senator Ted Kennedy decided to do just that—and here's what his dog has to say!
by Senator Edward M. Kennedy, illustrated by David Small
Here we follow Senator Kennedy and Splash through a busy day in D.C., from press conferences to meetings with school groups to committee discussions to a floor vote. The result is an exciting, behind-the-scenes look at the life of one of the most energetic figures in American politics—and, of course, his equally famous owner.
"Biographical sketches of Kennedy and Splash and a succinct explanation of how a bill becomes a law conclude this amusing, informative account, certain to win the votes—and hearts—of dog-loving kids." —Publishers Weekly, starred review
