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!

I think it was pretty cool seeing the presidents as kids or when they were young. It turned out they were just random kids how turned to become presidents. And some of the things they did were really funny.

i think the presidents are pretty boring in school. why do we need to know these guys? arent the important ones the one in office and whos comming next. my mom says i have to pay attention so im ready when i can vote myself. but this book had lots of neat facts that i dont get to learn in school. and theres alot of the same in who we vote for and pattererns . i have learned i dont want to be president. i want to be in congress.

A really good book. It tells the stories of some president's lives, and also has cool fun facts about all the presidents. Thank you IDOGO.

This is a wonderful book full of short stories about some of the presidents of America, and tidbits about all of them. It is written in a funny and engaging style with wonderful full color illustrations. I highly recommend this book to all readers, young and old.

This book is about the early lives of the presidents. It is also full of fun facts such as Ulysses S Grant loved riding on horseback. The presidents had very different childhoods. While Barack Obama was just finding his way through his new town, Ronald Reagan was saving people in Dixon,Illinois. I would definitely recommend this book.

This is a very cool educational book. It tells a lot of fun facts about the presidents when they were kids. My favorite president is Abe Lincoln. Ages 7+

This book is great! It tells you that even our presidents were kids once. They still got bullied, and explored, and even took dance classes! This book is great for learning unknown facts about our Presidents.

Considering this is a non-fiction book, it is harder to review. So, let me just tell you why this book is a good read. It was short, buyt straight to the point. It acually puts out some really interesting stories an d facts bout ALL of our U.S presidents. Even if you aren't a non-fiction person (like me) you will still find some tall tales in theis book that are in fact true. I reccomend this book to anyone who would want to learn about our presidents from somewhere other than a huge wikipedia article (that arent always true) or a fat auto/bibliography.

it always seems weird that important people (especially the american presidents) used to be little kids like everyone in the world and that they didn't have it easy

This book is very interesting. It helped me learn a lot about the presidents and their lives. Also a lot about history. My favorite president was Abe Lincoln.
