Forget the legends. Ignore the tall tales. The kids who grew up to be president werent superheroes. They 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 fullcolor cartoon illustrations on every page. History has never been this much fun!
