Kid Presidents

Every president started out as a kid! Forget the legends, tall tales, and historic achievements - before they were presidents, the future leaders of the United States 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 in these hilarious biographies. History has never been this much fun! 

'Hi! My name is Judson Moon. I'm twelve years old and I'm running for President of the YOU-nited States.' That's how I introduced myself to about a zillion people. I must have kissed a zillion babies, said a zillion hellos, shaken a zillion hands. … Will I get a zillion votes? The answer might surprise you. Can you picture a kid as President? Imagine what we can accomplish—together—in a country where parents listen. Where teachers give no homework. Where every lawmaker obeys a single kid—me! How am I going to pull this off? Who knows! LIsten to the book to find out.

"My fellow Americans, When I was running for President, I said you should vote for me because I didn't know anything about politics … or how to raise taxes … or how to ruin the economy. I didn't know how to get us into a war. I said you should vote for me because I didn't know anything. Well, that was two months ago, and I'm very proud to say that … I still don't know anything. Let's face it: I'm a kid. I'm going to need a lot of help. Here's the deal I offer America: I'll help all of you if you all help me!"
