About the Book
Young readers will delight in this whimsically illustrated picture book detailing the surprising history of eminent animals!

Meet the animals who ruled. There was Incitatus the horse, who was made a consul in the Roman Empire. Then there was Saur, a dog declared king during the days of the Vikings, who signed decrees with his paw. And one can't forget Pigasus, nominated as presidential candidate by a group of Vietnam War protestors, or Clay Henry the goat, who became mayor of a small Texas town. The government truly has gone to the dogs—and to the rhinos and elephants too!
