U. S. Presidents: Truths and Rumors

One of the best things about being a school librarian is being able to read all different kinds of books and learning new things.  This book is an opportunity for one of those times.  As a kid, I had always heard the  rumor that George Washington had wooden teeth.  This book clears that up–they weren’t wooden, they were made out of hippo ivory, a cow’s tooth, and even his own teeth, plus there is a picture to show how they looked.  It was amazing that he even wore them.  This books clears up rumors concerning nine of the U.S. Presidents.  I only wish it was longer and included more presidents!
