A comprehensive work about the first families' children, this is the only book available that treats these privileged few at any depth. The reading is enjoyable, answering questions such as, What happened to...? and, Did this president have any children? The book also is informative, glimpsing the lives of a few who have been shoved into the limelight at a certain period and for generations to come. Historically, the work functions sometimes as a period piece, sometimes as a human interest piece, but it always serves to help bring to life our first families. Included (where possible and/or appropriate) are the vital statistics of birth, marriage, education, development, profession, and death. The book is a good read, but it also serves an historical function. Aside from the fact that the book is informative, reading about the lives of the children of America's chief executives is like peering into a moment of the American equivalent of royalty. Observing the exciting, painful, humdrum, and heartfelt experiences of both the children and the families may also serve to increase the reader's understanding of the real lives of these emulated families; that they too lead lives that are similar to every person's, except that they are in the historical spotlight. After all, leaders such as Lincoln and Kennedy were forced to continue governing the affairs of state as their sons died.

'All The President's Children' includes the stories of the lives of the First Family members of our presidents from George Washington to Donald Trump. We elected our first president well over 200 years ago and have been caught up in the lives of not only the presidents, but also in their families ever since. Whether you agree with their father's politics or not, we are fascinated by the president's children and often wonder what happened to them once they left the White House. Now you can find out. There have been just under 200 presidential children to date and even a few grandchildren that were raised in the White House whose life stories are told. They are all included: legitimate, illegitimate, adopted, alleged, and a secret child given up for adoption are all included revealing the good, the bad, and the embarrassing. Some of the presidential children had a hard time getting out from under the shadow of their famous father and became alcoholics, committed suicide, or had gambling addictions while others have made a name for themselves by their own accomplishments. From their youth till their death, read the fascinating stories of the children of the presidents. Their stories begin in the days before our country was a nation and they experienced and witnessed many historical events. The stories continue up to the current day. Watch history unfold before their eyes. It's a fascinating read and a witness to life in the White House. Covering so many characters and personalities some will make you laugh, while others will leave you shaking your heads wondering why with all the advantages they had they turned out they way they did. You may even find yourself wiping away a tear or two, but you will see the children of the presidents in a new light as you read about their fascinating lives.

Living in America's most famous residence might seem glamorous at first--it's the most fun place any kid could live! There's a bowling alley in the basement, chefs are always available to prepare whatever you're craving, and sometimes presidential aides will even help you with your homework! But life isn't always easy for the youngsters who call the White House home. They're always in the spotlight, and those pesky Secret Service agents are always around. For every perk, there's a problem. From Washington to Obama, see the White House through the eyes of the children and grandchildren. Filled with wacky, weird, and wonderful stories, it shows what it's like to call the president Dad (or Granddad or Uncle). Find out what schools they went to, what mischief they caused, and what pets they had. There are first-person accounts from letters and interviews, fascinating photos, original illustrations, and even a section that follows the children after they left the White House.
