mreye Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060109/ap_en_...oks_ted_kennedy Check out his dog's name. Kind of witty coming from Chappaquiddick's Senior Senator. NEW YORK - Meet the latest children's author, Sen. Ted Kennedy, and his Portuguese Water Dog, Splash, his co-protagonist in "My Senator and Me: A Dogs-Eye View of Washington, D.C." Scholastic Inc. will release the book in May. "I am very excited about the opportunity to create a book for young readers and their families that will deepen their understanding of how our American government works," Kennedy said in a statement Monday issued by Scholastic. According to Scholastic, Kennedy's book "not only takes readers through a full day in the Senator's life, but also explains how a bill becomes a law." Kennedy, a Massachusetts Democrat, was inspired to write the book from his work with a Washington-based reading program, "Everybody Wins!" Kennedy's net proceeds will be donated to charity. Books are a Kennedy family tradition, from John F. Kennedy's Pulitzer Prize-winning "Profiles in Courage" to the poetry compilations edited by Caroline Kennedy. Books about dogs are a Washington tradition, thanks to the best-selling "Millie's Book," by then-first lady Barbara Bush. Ted Kennedy's book is 56 pages and includes illustrations by David Small, winner of the 2001 Caldecott Medal for his pictures in Judith St. George's "So You Want to Be President?"

soxman352000 Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 What this book going to teach children? How everyday the dog guides Sen. Kennedy home because he is too intoxicated to drive. There will probably be a chapter on how the dog is tied up to a lamp post outside a liquor store while Ted goes in to refill his scotch supply.
