I actually won this from a freebie. It is such an informational book about what presidents did when they were younger. Many activities/hobbies were similar to mine and I love to read how they became president.

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!

This is a fun book to learn about presidents. You learn about how different presidents were as kids. You'll see how Ulysses S. Grant was a pony boy in his day and how President Obama was bullied in Indonesia. And how Ronald Reagan saved many lives as a life guard. There's at least one fact for every president! This book was okay, though because it was all facts. There are some cartoons, though, except this book didn't have much character.
I like this book so far especially the vivid illustrations. Its really nice how some of the book is humors but you learn facts at he same time.
This is an excellent story! It tells the tale of many young lives of our USA presidents. If you are interested in history, and government official's young history, then I definitely recommend you read this book!
All the presidents had to grow up... But how? Open the book and you'll find stories about all the presidents from George Washington to Barack Obama! Have you ever felt like you're parents are overprotective of you? Well you haven't met Teddy Rosevelt's! (Although they did give him one 'day of freedom'.) Ever thought you've seen the most unbehaved kid in class? You haven't seen Lyndon B Johnson, who actually became a teacher himself. Learn about how Barack Obama went to Indonesia to live and was pranked by the other kids who lived there! All the presidents started out as kids! Find out about they're childhood in... Kid Presidents!

I read this book before it was published, (long story) and it said it was full color but really wasn't (probably because it was just a pre-pub) and I really liked it. 4 stars from me!
I think this book is really amazing to read and it tells you about our presidents life!
I won this book from DOGO books, and tried to read it, but my sister took it from me! We both love this book! This book has lots of unknown funny must-know facts about the presidents.
cool book
