A Captivating Look at our First Ladies

I bought this book with its companion book, "The Presidents of the United States of America" and loved both of them. This gives a very interesting look into the lives of the past and current First Ladies, from childhood until death. There is a 2-page spread on each First Lady with a good sized portrait or photograph to accompany each one, almost all being in color. I was disappointed with the portrait chosen for Jackie Kennedy, which didn't do her justice, but all the rest are lovely. A very entertaining read for children or adults about the many wives, sisters, neices, and daughters of our presidents who resided as "First Lady" of the White House. I couldn't put it down!
