SYNOPSIS

Organized in entertaining categories – Presidents’ first name, residence at birth, body shape, prior profession, hobbies, personality traits – this book is both informative and surprising.

Did you know that Abraham Lincoln was a terrible dancer and Andrew Johnson didn’t learn how to write until after getting married?

The main takeaway is both amusing and inspiring – you can come from any walk of life, have various shortfalls, and still be a great President if you really put your mind to it!

PERFECT AGE 6 – 11

We love

• The illustrations are engaging and rich, and only a little bit satirical.
• Accessible and entertaining language that “normalizes” the people who held this esteemed rank and makes the topic approachable for the 6-10yo audience.
• The book doesn’t beat around the bush about former Presidents’ criminal conduct.
• Lots of fun tidbits for parents to learn, too!
