Uncle John's Bathroom Reader Plunges into the Presidency [Paperback]

Bathroom Readers' Hysterical Society (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 20, 2004 | Series: Bathroom Reader

Modern-day presidential candidates are subjected to unprecedented scrutiny, and Uncle John is right there alongside other zealous investigators digging up the most compelling, confounding, entertaining, and unique information, facts, and figures about our nation's chief executives. This book is full of interesting insights, amazing anecdotes, and trashy tidbits about the lives, times, and issues of each president. Topics include: The Men — Their Personalities, Performance, Virtues, and Vices; Presidential Firsts and Lasts; Sibling Rivalry — Presidential Brothers and Sisters in the News; Health Secrets of the Chief Executives; Close Calls — Assassination Attempts; The Presidency as Depicted in Books, Movies, the Media, and Monuments; and much more. Readers learn about the oldest sitting president (Reagan at 77); the tiniest president (5'4" James Madison, who weighed less than 100 pounds); and the special status of 1841 (the only year when three separate men all served as president).

I bought this for my little brother (12 at the time). He is very interested in history (specifically, U.S. presidents). This was a great way to learn fun and informative facts about those presidents. He was super happy he got this.

Uncle John is back and this time has stories about the Presidency.

Every President from George Washington to George W. Bush is detailed giving information about their Presidency, personal info and famous quotes.

Like other Bathroom readers there are also interesting stories about Presidents in the book also. They tell about the making of the Hall of Presidents in Disney World, Presidential assassins, Mount Rushmore, The Constitution, The State of the Union and many more interesting stories that will keep you reading for hours.

We own this entire series (or at least the ones I can get my hands on) and love them. My son will not enter the bathroom without one in hand. We are a homeschooling family, so I take learning anywhere I can get it.
