An "encyclopedia" of information about the children who lived in the White House, from Washington to Obama. The narrative is not easy to follow because it moves back and forth among the presidential tenures. Nevertheless, it is filled with fascinating facts and impressions about the presidents' children. The reader is left with the impression that life in the White House had its pros and cons for the children, but few seem to regret having lived there. The book is not for quick page-turners; it requires lingering awhile.
