A serious piece of presidential scrutiny."— Kirkus Reviews"...a storehouse of information about all aspects of the presidents' lives."— Oklahoma City Oklahoman"If there’s something you need to know, if you’re selected for a presidential trivia game show, if you want to impress people with White House facts, you want to own this book."— The Children's Book Review"Hudson has done an excellent job."— VOYA
