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. And Bill Clinton was crazy clumsy (he once broke his leg jumping rope). Kid Presidents tells all of their stories and more with full-color cartoon illustrations on every page. History has never been this much fun!

This is a great book, I love the funny and true stories about each of the presidents life. I highly recommend you get this book its one you will keep forever

This book tells about interesting, and funny tales about presidents childhoods that you would nt know. I would recommend it to grades 2-5. Happy Reading!

As you can tell from the title this is a book about some US presidents as they where kids. Some of them were funny, others were sad, but they all were different unique. I love this book so much, it just draws me into it.

This book is excellent! It is about the U.S. presidents when they were kids. It is really interesting and has some fun facts. I recommend this book to people who like non-fiction books about presidents and wacky facts.

I really liked this book! It was very entertaining and educational. This book has some really funny stories in it! This is a really good book!

I got this book as my prize, but I have read it before it is really good. It is about how some the presidents were when they were kids. It was interesting

I really enjoyed this captivating but informal story! I thought it was really similar to the Uncle John series and the National Geographic series, which you should check out these series if you enjoyed this awesome book! So this book had true stories of our U.S. president's childhood stories and guess what???? It also had cartoons to go with it... which totally made my day....I was reading the book with such fascination, I was examining the book to the stories to the illustrations to the captions! It's quirky but amazing fun facts made me easier to understand and remember all these new facts.... What I also like about this book is that is shows how many people have the same problems like us, and they grew up to be aspiring presidents from all over the place helping every one of us... All of you guys have a dream???? Well stick to it, and keep on trying.. because maybe one day YOU can be the NEXT PRESIDENT!!!!

This was all about the presidents and their lives a children. The stories I read were all hilarious. It is so fun to learn bout what presidents were like as kids.

Really funny and interesting. This taught me waaaay more than my school text books would've. I liked how it described the president as a kid, and I soon learned all sorts of fact about their childhood. Love It.
