Childhoods of the Presidents

The 16 books in the Childhood of Famous Presidents series focus on the early lives of some of the greatest men who would one day be elected to the highest office in the United States.

The books provide detailed information about each president's birth, childhood, education, and early work experience, along with a final chapter that gives an overview of their adult successes and political careers.

Each of these full-color books includes a chronology, a glossary of terms, a list of books and Internet sites where young readers can receive further information, and an index.

Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Arthur M. Schlesinger, jr., the senior consulting editor on the series, contributes an original introduction.
