Series: Kid Legends
A breezy, funny (and deceptively educational!) book of true stories from the childhoods of US presidents -- with 150+ illustrations.

Think Diary of a Wimpy President!

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).

Kid Presidents tells all of their stories and more with full-colorcartoon illustrations on every page. History has neverbeen this much fun!

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

Fun and funny. --Examiner.com With cartoonish illustrations that will attract fans of Jeff Kinney's The Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Rachel Renee Russel's The Dork Diaries, this informative offering leaves no presidential childhood rock unturned. -- School Library Journal Caricatures by Horner are whimsical and funny, a good match for a book that demonstrates that every president started life as a goofy, regular kid. -- Booklist Kid Presidents is a hoot! Who would have thought that the path to the white house starts with being a cool little kid? --Joseph D'Agnese, author of American History Comic Books. .. .entertaining... -- Kirkus Reviews Just like history class, only hilarious. --Tim Federle, author of Better Nate Than Ever This book is altogether too much fun! The pictures are hilarious, the stories are surprising and interesting, and the whole thing is delightful enough to make people forget that it's about America, and history. --Ben H. Winters, author of The Secret Life of Ms Finkelman
