Lives of the Presidents: Fame, Shame (and What the Neighbors Thought) 7 reviews Kathleen Krull
Harcourt Children's Books, 1998
Hilarious!
+ Awesome!! + all the stuff you didn't know!
Hi! I read this book for facts for a report I had to do. The covers really hooked me in by the funny pictures! It had great information, but I would read another book also if you wanted to report on the lesser-known presidents!

America Votes: How Our President Is Elected 1 review Linda Granfield
Kids Can Press, Ltd., 2005
America votes, how a president is elected
This book came to me in the condition listed, but what I didn't realize was that the book was much more wordy then I had hoped. I will pass it onto my daughter who teaches 2nd grade because for my PreK students it won't work.

Wackiest White House Pets 3 reviews Kathryn Gibbs Davis
Scholastic Press, 2004
Wonderful way to introduce kids to history
+ FOR ANIMAL LOVERS OF ALL AGES - TWO PAWS UP!!! + neat book
My 5 year-old daughter, an animal lover, really enjoyed the way we talked about history through the idea of White House pets. At the very least, it helped her identify the names of some ex-presidents. I like how the book gives a bit of a background on all presidents at the end.
