Any time is a good time to promote the Storytime app and the Kane Miller picture-book apps, but with all the attention and hoopla surrounding the upcoming presidential election, this is the PERFECT time to campaign for What Does the President Look Like?. The book is a fantastic resource for school-age history buffs, enhanced in the ebook version to offer an even more extensive look at how the technology of the day shaped the way the public perceived presidential candidates over the years, right up to present-day. Author and former White House staffer Jane Hampton Cook's wealth of facts, historical perspectives, trivia tidbits and more are developed further with pop-ups of paintings and photograph, actual voice recordings, movie and TV footage and more.

And don't forget the book too, of course. Teachers and parents can use either format to explore the role of visual media in how we elect our leaders and in our lives in general. This can become a springboard to a discussion of the role of advertising in our society and the importance of looks in our culture.
