Description: From the private quarters of the White House, this book, written by a kid, for kids, will make readers laugh and get children hooked on history in a way they never thought possible! First Kids are, and were, kids like any other, they just lived with parents who happened to be busy running the free world. This book will highlight all of the 43 president's children leading into their adulthood. It will cover likes and dislikes and go in-depth from the games they played to the vegetables they despised. Readers will connect with the information in First Kids because they'll see that kids are a lot alike no matter who their parents are. For example, did you know the Roosevelt children were constantly in trouble for terrorizing White House visitors with their pet boa constrictor? They also loved to slide down the stairs of the mansion at record speeds and drop water balloons from the roof of the White House onto the guards below.
