Penguins can't fly. Of course they can't. Can they? A wayward penguin is found by the side of the road and convinces his rescuer he crashed while flying. The unusual pair tries all sorts of methods to return the penguin to the sky (all remarkably unsuccessful) until the day when the penguin finally rediscovers the secret of flight within himself. This charming, simple, and understated parable is ideal for children starting school, graduates, job-seekers, newlyweds, and anyone else who s learning to fly in unfamiliar skies.

Today, President Obama's image is everywhere you look, but how did Americans know what George Washington looked like when he was president? And why isn't George smiling on that dollar bill in your pocket? Think Currier and Ives made only Christmas cards sung about in Sleigh Bells? Think again. Posters of presidents--not one horse sleighs-- made Currier and Ives a household name. Did a single photograph of Abraham Lincoln really elect him president? And why didn't Andrew Jackson laugh at those cartoons? What Does the President Look Like answers these curious questions and many others to show how technology and new inventions have both shaped and made presidents--and America--over the years. And don't forget to grab your digital camera; you just might meet the real president along the way.
