(3) K-3 Illustrated by Julie Downing. This book provides a fascinating perspective on U.S. presidents by focusing on the personalities and influences of their mothers. Each mom has her own section, descriptive epithet (e.g., Barbara Pierce Bush, "The Outspoken Mother"), amusing anecdote, and cartoonlike portrait; sidebars in varying formats contain important dates and facts. Gherman's engaging text offers vivid characterization of these historic women and their powerful sons. Bib.
