Mayor Moe, an orange-coloured fathead with the chin of Donald Trump, repeatedly tramples on the rights of local citizens by putting his own desires first and has to be berated back into line by the rest of the city council, mostly Councillor Bug (who looks like a cross between a helicopter and Fred Flintstone's little green alien) and her shrieks of, “That's not fair!” At the end of each tale, there are discussion questions about the specific right that was trampled.

While the content is not terribly clever and the illustrations rather cutesy, the is a useful vehicle to launch discussions not only about civic rights, but also about democracy and the people we choose to represent us.
