This book provides a one page set of facts about each and every President of the United States.

This includes sections called Presidential Stats, Tell Me More, and Accomplishments & Events. There are big bright full page illustrations to show off the pets in action.
If you need a fact book about all the presidents in your library –this is the book! It’s got all the basics plus that attention grabbing silly pets part, including a swearing parrot! (No swear words are detailed –don’t worry!). Students will love the illustrations and the silly poetry about the pets.
