Product Description
From the private quarters of the White House, this book, written by a kid, for kids, will make readers laugh and get children hooked on history in a way they never thought possible! First Kids are, and were, kids like any other, they just lived with parents who happened to be busy running the free world. This book will highlight all of the 43 president's children leading into their adulthood. It will cover likes and dislikes and go in-depth from the games they played to the vegetables they despised. Readers will connect with the information in FIRST KIDS because they'll see that kids are a lot alike no matter who their parents are. For example, did you know the Roosevelt children were constantly in trouble for terrorizing White House visitors with their pet boa constrictor? They also loved to slide down the stairs of the mansion at record speeds and drop water balloons from the roof of the White House onto the guards below.

 First Kids November 17, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
First Kids is a book with biographies about all the first kids. There are also facts about the White House, kids who help their dads in the White House, and stuff the Presidents liked to do. I'm nine years old and I liked the book a lot because it's interesting learning about the kids of the Presidents instead of just the President. There are also interesting facts that you wouldn't think of wanting to know right away like how Amy Carter had the same room as Caroline Kennedy, Luci Johnson, and Tricia Nixon. Also, a thirteen year old wrote the book which amazes me. I give it 4 1/2 stars!
 Great book :-) August 6, 2008

I first saw 13 year old Noah as a correspondant on Jay Leno during the conventions when he was only 9. This is his second book (the first was on Presidential trivia) and you'd never think he was only 13 - he's so smart and mature and very knowledgable.
He tried to contact all living First Kids to talk about themselves and their lives at the White House, but only two responded. Susan Ford was so interested, that she wrote the forward here. It's very well done and geared for kids and covers everything from vegetables they all like/dislike, games they'd play to amuse themselves and pets etc.
I think Noah is really going to be going places. He wants to run for the Presidancy in 2032 and at this rate, he'd have a fairly good shot. I can't get over how smart he is and this book is very impressive and fun.
