Very interesting and informative!

I have read many books about the presidents but this had facts I've never read elsewhere before. Lighthearted and informative.

This is written for 9-12 year-olds. I got it because I play trivia and we have a lot of questions about presidents. This book does a good job of covering the presidents' birthplace, political party, wife and children's names, pets, and significant events during the term(s) he was in office. Just what you need for winning at trivia.

I bought this for my son, but I went and accidentally read it cover-to-cover, because I don't want to wish I knew that. I want to know that. I'm that much closer to knowing the category cold for Jeopardy, and now I'm ready to tackle the behemoth president book my mother-in-law got me, after which I'll know the category ice.

This fun little book gives fun little factoids about the Presidents of the United States, with little bits of information that range from FDR's love of swimming to the fact that Garfield was a preacher before he was president. The information is presented in a small, easy to digest style that is perfect for preteens and children who are interested in learning about the presidents. Fun, enjoyable, and lighthearted, this little book would be a wonderful edition to an elementary school library.
