This book is full of little-known facts about children who lived in the White House. There is a biography on each child, starting with George Washington's adopted grandchild and ending with Chelsea Clinton. It is a large book lavishly illustrated with photographs and color woodcut-style illustrations. It is intended for older children, say 12-15 or so, but most adults will learn a thing or two here, and it is suitable to read aloud to younger children. Through glimpses into the lives of the White House children, the reader learns about history from the 1700s to the present. The biographies are not sugar coated - some contain quite real and sad information, such as about Lincoln's sons who died, or the yellow fever epidemic. The reader learns that even "White House children" are not without their troubles.
