Even though this is classified as a children's book I thoroughly enjoyed it. Basic information about the president's but also fun interesting facts. Things like origin of the teddy bear, baby Ruth candy bar and much more.
This book also has things to help make learning fun for children with pop up, pull tabs, and doors
