So You Want to Be President?

by Judith St. George and David Small

So You Want to Be President? Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

So you want to be President! Why not? Presidents have come in every variety. They've been generals like George Washington and actors like Ronald Reagan, big like William Howard Taft and small like James Madison, handsome like Franklin Pierce and homely like Abraham Lincoln.

From the embarrassment of skinny-dipping John Quincy Adams to the mischievous adventure of Theodore Roosevelt's pony, Judith St. George shares the backroom facts, the spitfire 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, this celebration shows us the foibles, quirks, and the humanity of forty-one men who have risen to one of the most powerful positions in the world.

Synopsis:

Hilariously illustrated by Caldecott honor-winning artist Small, this celebration shows the foibles, quirks, and the humanity of 41 men who have risen to serve as United States presidents. Full color.
