Brief summary:
The idea behind this humorous yet informative book is that anyone can grow up to be president. The author compares past presidents and their statures, personalities and qualifications to show how varied they've really all been, and gives readers a fun look at the up and down sides of working in the Oval Office. This book was the 2001 winner of the Caldecott Medal, which is awarded annually to the most distinguished American picture book for children, and David Small's caricature-style illustrations will draw both children and adults straight through the book from cover to cover.
