(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Kathryn Hewitt. Krull and Hewitt have updated their informative and humorous look at the personalities behind the public figures of our forty-four presidents, describing the daily lives, interests, quirks, and habits of these iconic men. The heading fonts have been changed slightly, which improves readability, and there's a new cover. The entertaining gossipy style remains unaltered, and most of the text is the same.
