Andy's Presidents Book Ilene Marquardt

Guess which president liked to swim naked in the Potomac River? Guess which president weighed only 100 pounds? Andy's Presidents Book is the perfect way to introduce young readers to the United States Presidents as illustrated and told from the unique perspective of its talented young author.

Andy´s Presidents Book began on a whim when Andy, who was learning about the presidents in his 2nd grade class in Leonia, NJ, decided to draw pictures and write down some of the fun and interesting facts he had learned on pieces of old construction paper he found in a drawer in his house. What emerged is an informative, engaging and youthful book full of bright colors, whimsical drawings in their original form and fascinating yet sometimes silly facts. This is a charming book that parents will love to read to their young history enthusiasts over and over again.

Andy Marquardt was born in 1999 and lives in Leonia, NJ with his mom, dad, sister, brother and beagle, Wrigley.
