Did you know...
The bullet-proof glass of the Presidential limo is so thick that it blocks out almost all outside light?
What about the purple envelope President Obama receives each morning?
That there is an underground passageway to the White House pool?
TIME for Kids' new book, President Obama: A Day in the Life of America's Leader shares countless tidbits like these while walking the reader through a day in the life of one of the busiest men in the world.
The book wields over 125 pages of beautiful color photographs and fascinating, reader friendly content to illuminate for children not only what is involved in running The United States of America, but what it is like for the first family to live in The White House.
All along the way, the experiences of past presidents and first families are interwoven in the text. Children will find the pages on past first children, and first pets especially intriguing.
This book is not limited to the President and his family. It is also a wealth of information on the Presidency, political process, White House, and Washington- presented in a way that is continually engaging for children.
Teachers will treasure it as a rich resource to which they turn over and again.
President Obama: A Day in the Life of America's Leader can be summed up in the words of my 11 year old daughter hours after she swiped it from the kitchen counter. "That book is GREAT!"
Who knew learning about the political process could be so much fun?
