Book Overview

Great Book for classroom use and more!!!

I have used this book from the library for years for a brief and fun overview of Presidents in my history classes, and decided I really needed to own it for personal use!!

Awesome!!

I bought this book some time ago and I realized how good Kathleen Krull and Kathryn Hewitt are at writing books. I am hoping to get Lives of the Artists. Unfortunately, my 9th birthday already passed so I have to wait 5 months (Chistmas.) I highly recommend this book. Hope this was helpful to you.

Hilarious!

Great Pictures, Interesting facts

I thought it was very entertaining. Some real odd-ball facts to make you wonder how these people ever got elected president (mean, friendless presidents, and presidents who enjoyed "naked time" in the Potomac river). Thumbs up.
