Playful political poems about the penchants and peccadilloes of the presidents Sure, William Taft got stuck in his tub, but did you know that John Quincy Adams used to skinny-dip in the Potomac? Herbert Hoover spoke Chinese with his wife, and Gerald Ford had his name changed from Leslie Lynch King. It's true In The President's Stuck in the Bathtub, the lives of the presidents are served up as fact-filled and fanciful poems that will make you laugh, cringe, and gasp with amazement at the colorful cast of men and women who have lived in the White House. With footnotes relating the facts behind the inspiration for each poem, and a section called "Presidential Notes and Quotes" in the back, this is one hilarious history lesson that kids will elect to read over and over again
My grandson loves reading on all of our presidents. The title caught my attention for this was one fact that I had discussed with him yet he was unsure it was a true fact. This book had some funny and fun ways to reveal a different side of presidential facts. I would recommend this one. He is also currently reading Presidential Pets . Added to the usual stats and facts, these two books are a must.
