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!

cover My Senator and Me
A Dog's-Eye View of Washington D.C.

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
