We Ask Them- Bill or Bob?

By Lea of Bank Street School For Children, NYC.

If the poison arrow frog was participating in the November Presidential Elections, it would vote for Bill Clinton. First of all, Clinton spends a lot of money on children's issues, such as health care. When the poison arrow frogs tadpoles are born, the male frog carries the babies on his back to keep them moist, and that's health care. That's one reason why the poison arrow frog would vote for him. He wouldn't vote for Bob Dole because he spends a lot of his money on defense, and the poison arrow frog only uses it's defense when it's in extreme danger.

Another reason that the poison arrow frog would vote for Clinton is that the poison arrow frog makes a chirping and buzzing sound to communicate with other frogs. Clinton is a very good communicator, but Dole isn't, because he tends to be boring.
