Book Overview
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 Barack Obama--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.

I bought this book some time ago and I realized how good Kathleen Krull and Kathryn Hewitt are at writing books. I am hoping to get Lives of the Artists. Unfortunately, my 9th birthday already passed so I have to wait 5 months (Chistmas.) I highly recommend this book. Hope this was helpful to you.
all the stuff you didn't know!

this is such a great book! all the other books about the presidents just tell about how "great" the first men were, while we ALL deep down know what inconsiderate jerks they REALLY are!!! cheerio, mates!
Hilarious!

Hi! I read this book for facts for a report I had to do. The covers really hooked me in by the funny pictures! It had great information, but I would read another book also if you wanted to report on the lesser-known presidents!
Great Pictures, Interesting facts

I thought it was very entertaining. Some real odd-ball facts to make you wonder how these people ever got elected president (mean, friendless presidents, and presidents who enjoyed "naked time" in the Potomac river). Thumbs up.
