Wow–another wonderful book to review for you today! I recently received Our Presidents Rock! by Juliette Turner. She is the National Youth Director of Consituting America. Her mother Janine Turner is the Founder and Co-Chair of Constituting America (and an actress).Our Presidents Rock! is for kids and is all about the U.S. Presidents. It’s a paperback book 316 pages long and jammed packed full of important and fun information about each of our American Presidents.The book begins with an Introduction page which gives an inspiring explanation of how anyone can become President. Next it explains how to read the book (like I explain below), and a couple of pages explaining the role of President as given by the U.S. Constitution. (They also have a book called Our Constitution Rocks! that I’ll have to check out.)Each president has several pages devoted to him.
