The President and Mom's Apple Pie

32 pp. | Dutton | May, 2002 | Trade ISBN 0-525-46887-0 $$15.99
(4) K-3 This is a farcical account of a visit by President William Howard Taft to dedicate a new flagpole in a small town. The young narrator leads, then follows, the three-hundred-pound president as he postpones the dedication to consume spaghetti, barbecue, steamed vegetables, and, finally, the narrator's mother's apple pie. Nostalgic cartoony pictures illustrate the anemic story.
Reviewer: Frieda F. Bostian
