Ken Burns is the most acclaimed documentary filmmaker of our time. Now, in a book created specifically for children, Burns explores the legacy of each of America's presidents—with wit and wisdom, humor and heart. From Thomas Jefferson's Louisiana Purchase to Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, Theodore Roosevelt's national parks to Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act, Burns explains the importance of each presidency in ways that children can appreciate.

The book is filled with fascinating, fun facts about our forty-four presidents. Did you know...

• As a child, Andrew Jackson was a practical joker. His favorite trick was to move people's outhouses during the night so they couldn't find them.
• John Quincy Adams wrote in his diary every day from the time he was seventeen until the day he died. That's more than 20,000 entries!
• When he was running for president, Teddy Roosevelt was shot by a man standing just seven feet away. But Roosevelt went ahead and gave his entire ninety-minute speech anyway.

Grover Cleveland, Again! is the perfect gift for America's young citizens, one that will change their approach to history and their understanding of what makes this country special.
