Kid Presidents: True Tales of Childhood from America's Presidents

Hilarious childhood biographies and full-color illustrations show how George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Barack Obama, and other presidents-to-be faced kid-sized problems growing up in America.

Every president started out as a kid! Forget the legends, tall tales, and historic achievements--before they were presidents, the future leaders of the United States had regular-kid problems just like you.

• John F. Kennedy hated his big brother.
• Lyndon Johnson pulled pranks in class.
• Barack Obama was bothered by bullies.
• Bill Clinton was crazy clumsy (he once broke his leg jumping rope).

Readers 8 to 12 years old will learn all of their stories and more with full-color cartoon illustrations on every page. History has never been this much fun!
