Kids will be kids—even when they live in the White House! Discover the stories of our presidents' children in this leveled reader perfect for President's Day! From Tad Lincoln (secretly called a 'tyrant') to the Roosevelt gang (who kept a pet badger, a rat, dogs, snakes, horses, parrots, and a one-legged chicken!) to the Kennedys (who used the oval office as a playground) to Chelsea Clinton (who transformed herself from an awkward teen into an accomplished scholar), the children featured in First Kids shared a unique experience and role in American history.
