Cet adorable personnage et ses aventures loufoques sont une parfaite introduction aux romans à chapitres. Les enfants adorent Méchant Minou et ses pitreries les font rire aux éclats. Il est temps d'élire le nouveau président du Club des Chats du Quartier. Qui gagnera les élections? Le candidat choisi par les chats du côté droit de la rue? Ou celui des chats du côté gauche? Quand le grand jour arrive, un candidat (devinez qui?) se rend compte qu'il ne s'est même pas inscrit sur les listes électorales. Le résultat des élections pourrait bien surprendre Méchant Minou. Tout se jouera sur le dernier bulletin, envoyé à la dernière minute par un vieux minou.

Peter L. Francia
"In The Future of Organized Labor in American Politics, Peter L. Francia discusses the effects of John Sweeney's controversial tenure as president of the AFL-CIO and assesses labor's influence on American political elections and legislation. Drawing on interviews with union and business leaders, as well as campaign-finance and public-opinion data, Francia argues that Sweeney has employed a more effective and expansive grassroots political operation than his predecessors. He challenges critics who dismiss Sweeney's efforts as a failure but cautions that the decline in union membership presents a serious crisis for the labor movement."--Jacket.
David Savage
"Dancing with the devil is a UN police officer's memoir of the independence ballot in East Timor. With compassion and humour, David Savage tells the simple truth about the horrific events he witnessed, and the triumph of a quiet, resilient people."--BOOK JACKET.
