The political humor book of the election season—Dog on the Roof!chronicles Mitt Romney’s infamous family adventure with hilarious four-color illustrations throughout.

They were the typical American familyon a typical American road trip—Dad behind the wheel, Mom in the passenger seat, their five adorable kids piled in the back. And, of course, their beloved dog strapped to the roof.
