(3) 4-6 In Their Own Voices series. A cursory overview of the American presidency is given an unusual focus by the inclusion of letters that young people have written to the Chief Executive. Addressing major issues as well as more personal concerns, the letters are occasionally photocopied from originals, but are more frequently printed in a font that resembles handwriting. The book is illustrated with black-and-white photographs. Bib., ind.
