Books with title The Buck Stops Here

A classic, poetic introduction to the forty-four presidents!Do you know which president never attended school? Which president had fifteen children? The first president to keep an automobile at the White House? The only unelected president? The Buck Stops Here is filled with fascinating details that tell the history of the forty-four presidents of the United States. Campaign slogans and songs, scandals, wars, accomplishments, and failures color each page and bring life to each president as a unique historical personality. In a book that is truly for all ages, Alice Provensen give us a close, personal view, in pictures and text, of our presidents, as well as a visual and social history of our country.

This is not a history book, although it contains a good deal of information about America's past. Its pictures are designed to help readers make connections between the presidents and the events surrounding them. The rhyme may help in remembering our presidents' names and the order in which they served. Perhaps, too, curiosity about our history will be aroused. (from the Introduction)
