MY SENATOR AND ME A Dog's-Eye View of Washington, D.C.

What a timely listening experience! Senator Kennedy provides a child-friendly look at Washington and the workings of our government—from area landmarks to a glimpse into a senator's day to the mechanics of passing an education bill—all seen through the eyes of Senator Kennedy's Portuguese water dog, Splash. The tagteam narration with Senator Kennedy as himself and David de Vries as Splash brings intimacy and authenticity. Each takes pleasure in recounting their time together. The background music is zippy; sound effects include enthusiastic barks and students on tour. David Small's humorous illustrations round out the package.
