Description:
So you want to be President! Now that's a big job, and getting bigger. But why not? Presidents have come in just about every variety. They've been generals like George Washington, actors like Ronald Reagan, teachers like Woodrow Wilson. They've been big like William Howard Taft and small like James Madison. They've been handsome like Franklin Pierce and homely like Abraham Lincoln.

From the embarrassment of skinny-dipping John Quincy Adams, to the mischievous adventure of a pony during Theodore Roosevelt's presidency, to the heroic recovery of John Kennedy's crew, Judy St. George shares the backroom facts, the spit-fire comments, and the comical anecdotes that have been part and parcel of America's White House.
Hilariously illustrated by Caldecott honor-winning artist David Small in the cherished tradition of political commentary, this rip-roaring celebration of forty-one Presidents shows us the foibles, the quirks, and -- most of all -- the humanity of those men who have risen to one of the most powerful positions in the world.
