Audio Reviews:

"Successfully walking a fine line between maintaining respect for the office as well as her subjects while at the same time serving up some delicious inside gossip, Krull provides fascinating observations...Students who claim that history is boring may change their minds after listening to this recording."
                    -School Library Journal
 
"Without being malicious or muckraking, [Krull] transforms icons into human beings with distinct, sometimes quirky personalities who have more in common with their constituents than one might imagine...as addictive as it is fascinating."
                    -Horn Book
 
"As a supplement to other history volumes, or just for the fun of it, this is a fascinating listening experience."

"Here is an audio tape program that should be in every school media center!"

SYNOPSIS:

Each President, including President Bill Clinton, is represented in this lively and irreverent expose of their foibles and quirky habits, as well as the influence their First Ladies did and didn't have on their time in office. Their eccentricities and influence as well as their accomplishments are all covered.
