So You Want to be President? by Judith St. George (2001 Caldecott)

Even though this collection of facts and details is old enough to be missing a few Presidents, this book is still a great way to get your kids thinking about who the President is, and how you might get to hold that office. It doesn't spend a lot of time talking about what the job entails, instead it looks at similarities and differences between the men who have held the office over the years.

You get all sorts of trivia including the most popular names for Presidents and how many people could fit in President Taft's bathtub. It's a bit denser than you would expect from a Caldecott book in the 21st Century, but It's still a very interesting book, and well worth your time.
