(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Dan E. Burr. The more comical aspects of our forty-four presidents are highlighted in simple four-line clerihews offering the barest biographical points while making fun of some of the men's human flaws. Characteristics such as Washington's false teeth, Clinton's fast-food cravings, or George W. Bush's numerous vacation days are individually observed with editorial-style caricatures. An appendix expands on the historical anecdotes. Reading list, websites.
