Where Do Presidents Come From?: And Other Presidential Stuff of Super Great Importance

Product Details
   I love presidential history. So, when I found this book, I leaped for it, even though it’s clearly geared towards children. The book features just about everything a person should know about how a person becomes president. There is extensive looks at the Constitution, the life of George Washington, the election process, and the role of the Commander-In-Chief.

   What I wanted was a book that offered some fun facts about presidents with a humorous slant. There are some 'FFs' here, but not nearly enough for my liking. The humorous slant is pretty juvenile and the jokes are used over and over and over. It’s like that knock-knock joke about the banana. The writer uses bunnies and monkeys a lot for the majority of the jokes and it gets old pretty fast.

   The age range for this book is very narrow. The political info is too old for kids under 9 and the jokes are too goofy for kids over 13. It would make a good summer read for parents wanting their kids to learn and read during school break.

   Worth Consuming.

   Rating: 7 out of 10 stars.
