Lives of the Presidents: Fame, Shame (and What the Neighbors Thought)

SarahKate's Notes:

These biographies are fascinating, sharing the Presidents favorite meals, quirks and pastimes without going into the political side too much. There is no mention of if they are Republican or Democrat, and barely mentions any wars that happen during each presidency. We read sections of the book and enjoyed so much we bought the audio book, which we have listened to many times - especially around the 2008 election.

Every U.S. president is the focus of public scrutiny, but how well do we know these men? What kind of fathers do presidents make? Husbands? Neighbors? Other books focus on the historical achievements of those who have occupied our country's highest office; Lives of the Presidents looks instead at their bad habits, silly nicknames, and strange pets. Every president--from George Washington to Bill Clinton--is included, with an emphasis on those who have had the greatest impact on history. Discover their high points, low points, and the times in between. In this stunning addition to their acclaimed series, Kathleen Krull and Kathryn Hewitt take us beyond politics and photo opportunities, revealing the entertaining, complex, and very real lives of the presidents.

Grace for President

SarahKate's Notes:

Laurel (then 9) loved hearing this book over and over during the summer of 2008. Grace is a girl who finds out that no girl has ever become president and she would like to go for it. Her teacher supports her and there is a school election with an explanation of electoral votes. Fun, inspiring and educational.

If I Were President

SarahKate's Notes:

An inspiring book about what all presidents do, regardless of their political party. Six girls and boys, of all races, take turns staring as president: giving speeches, meeting with their cabinet, throwing the first pitch of the season, etc. It leaves you with the feeling that anyone can be president, and that it is a great job. Also read Catherine Stier's book, "If I Ran For President".
