Product Description
The Everything American Presidents Book is an all-in-one guide to each of the forty-three men who have served as Chief Executive of the United States. This comprehensive resource provides you with all the fundamentals you need to know about this country's leaders plus fascinating little-known facts such as: - George Washington never really cut down a cherry tree.
- John Adams spoke with a lisp after he lost most of his teeth.
- Chester Arthur loved clothes and changed several times a day.
- William Howard Taft was America's fattest president--he once got stuck in the White House bathtub.
- Herbert Hoover and his wife often spoke Mandarin Chinese when they didn't want to be overheard.
- A portrait of Ronald Reagan made from 10,000 jellybeans hangs in his Presidential Library.
Written in an entertaining style by two experienced educators, this fun and informative guide is packed with facts and details about the life and times of each president and the major events that shaped his term. The Everything American Presidents Book is the perfect reference book about the fascinating men who shaped U.S history and policy.

 An elightened Brit September 18, 2008
Elwyn J. Richards (WALES UK)
I'm British,but spend every vacation in the U.S. I thought it was about time I got to know as much as I possibly could of the country I visit so regularly. I decided to purchase Everything American Presidents Book: I found the book extremely interesting and informative and loved the little nuggets of revelatory facts that few people would know about. I have no hesitation in recommending this publication to anyone who wants to learn more about the men who have helped to shape the social and economic history of the greatest country on the planet.

4 out of 4 found this review helpful
After recently watching a wonderful 4 hour show on the Presidents on C-SPAN, I realized how much I had forgotten or never learned over the years. I was seeking a book that was interesting, quick and yet easy to carry for my bus ride to work. After looking at all the books available in Borders (ones that didn't have an obvious agenda), I would say this was a great choice. For me, I just wanted a review in chronological order that wasn't too elementary.
