Presidential Puzzlers, Grades 4-6, Ages 9-12

By Jeanne Cheyney and Arnold Cheney. Did you know Rutherford B. Hayes was called "Ruddy" by his family? Or that Harry Truman had read the Bible three times by age 14? These and many other presidential tidbits form the basis for word-searches, crossword puzzles and other games. Although much of the information is supplied in the activities, the crossword puzzle for each president may require a trip to the library-to figure out, for instance, that George Washington's favorite subject in school was arithmetic. A way to give students a reason to learn about the presidents, this book includes Barack Obama. Grades 4–6. Bibliography. Illustrated. 8½" x 11". Good Year Books. 154 pages. Third Edition. ©2009.
