So You Want to Be President?: The Revised and Updated Edition by Judith St George

4.0

Presidents, presidents everywhere. This book is full of fun and interesting facts about the presidents of the US; the good, the bad and the bizarre. Each president here is mentioned at least once for something. Most of them have similar names or lived in log cabins - 9. There have been 6 presidents with the name James, 1 went by Jimmy. We learn the tallest, the shortest and the biggest president. Very little judgement is made, but it does talk about Clinton and Nixon telling lies. This was updated in 2012 so Obama is included in the mix here.

I thought this was a fun little facts filled nonfiction book for anyone interested in learning about the presidents of our country. It’s obvious some were much better than others. I have started watching Untold history on Netflix and its a great show about modern presidents and I have been learning so much, so this book is interesting right now. I do hope someday soon we can add a woman to this list. It's much needed now.

The niece loved this book. She loves little facts about things. She gave this 4 stars. The nephew thought some things were funny. He thought Taft being lowered into the bathtub by a crane was funny and some other things, but mostly he wasn’t too interested. He gave this 2 stars.
