From George Washington to George W. Bush, this newest entry in the popular Little Giant® Book series presents kids with loads of entertainment and education about the American presidency. Featuring fun illustrations throughout, it includes a list of all 43 presidents (in chronological and alphabetical order); a timeline of important events that occurred during each presidency; some firsts, lasts, and onlys associated with the presidents; popular nicknames; and fascinating facts about presidential families, finances, houses, favorite foods, sports and hobbies, monuments and memorials. There are interesting oddities-including many sightings of Lincoln's ghost and the fact that Thomas Jefferson started the custom of a President shaking hands, rather than bowing, to guests-and lots of thought-provoking, memorable quotations.
