Not-So-Great Presidents: Commanders in Chief, Epic Fails

For any kid who dreams of going to the White House—an entertaining reminder that even presidents aren’t perfect!

From heroic George Washington to the dastardly Richard Nixon, the Oval Office has been occupied by larger-than-life personalities since 1789. The position comes with enormous power and responsibility, and our leaders have managed to achieve a lot of great things. However, the President of the United States is only human—and oftentimes far from perfect. While some suffered through only minor mishaps during their time in office, others are famously remembered for leaving behind much bigger messes.

In the third installment of the Epic Fails series, authors Erik Slader and Ben Thompson, and artist Tim Foley, take young readers on another hilarious ride, exploring the lives, legacies, and failures of some of America’s commanders in chief.
