Duck for President is a children's book written by Doreen Cronin and illustrated by Betsy Lewin. Released in 2004 through Simon and Schuster, the New York Times Best Illustrated Book follows the further adventures of Farmer Brown's animals that were introduced in Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type. In this story, Duck becomes frustrated with Farmer Brown's rule over the farm, and holds an election to take over. His quest for power continues to the governor's office, and later to his running for President. He returns to the farm, saying, "running a country is no fun at all."
