So You Want to Be President? by Judith St. George

So You Want to Be President by Judith St. George is a Caldecott Medal Book. This book is really neat to read to younger children, especially around election time. I personally like it because it packs in so much history about many of the presidents. It also has funny and fun facts about some of our past presidents! At the end of the book it tells some facts about each president (as a reference). This particular version needs to be updated to include the current president; it is a revised version so this makes me think that the author will update the book in the future (if she hasn't already).

Judith St. George is the author of more than forty books, ranging from mysteries to histories. Her children's books have earned her several awards.

If your child enjoyed this book here are a few other books that are written by George that they may also enjoy; So You Want to Be an Inventor and The Ghost, The White House, and Me.
