Think thin today: Nutri-psychology

Thomas, Thomas Timoux

An amiable compendium of presidential trivia, this contains lively, humanizing facts that could go far in sparking flagging classroom discussion. Presidents and their tenures appear at the start. A lengthy quiz section poses questions such as "Who was the youngest president to take office?" (it wasn't JFK) or "Which president took the oath of office on Wall Street in New York City?" Anecdotes and odd facts follow, along with matching games involving topics such as presidential nicknames, pets, or signatures. There are also lists (admittedly subjective) of the best, worst, most unlucky, or smartest presidents. Illustrated with occasional cartoons.

Tecumseh, an Indian Moses

Van Hoose, William H.

He was, perhaps, the greatest Indian chief of all times ... a man driven by his passion for his people and a forbidden white girl. He was born with the flight of a shooting star across the sky, and his life was marked by the same outstanding singleness from his first moment to his last. This fascinating biography of the famous Shawnee Indian leader introduces the reader to the life of the woodland Indians and describes the true events surrounding the white man's attempt to tame the "wild" frontier.
