Book Description
U.S. Presidential History Bites is the second book in the History Bites series. The first book, U.S. History Bites, is an overview of American history, covering thirty major topics from Columbus to modern day. Both books were written to provide readers with bite-sized chunks of history to help them retain what they have read. Like the first book, U.S. Presidential History Bites was also written for young children. The goal is to help increase their knowledge of the U.S. presidents. It contains forty-five sections, including one about the most recent president, Donald J. Trump. To enhance comprehension, it also includes vocabulary and review questions in each section, along with a glossary at the end of the book. U.S. Presidential History Bites serves as a great read aloud but can also be enjoyed by independent readers.

Book Description
A "delicious" (Dorie Greenspan), "genial" (Kirkus Reviews), "very cool book about the intersections of food and history" (Michael Pollan)—as featured in the New York Times "The complex political, historical, religious and social factors that shaped some of [France's] . . . most iconic dishes and culinary products are explored in a way that will make you rethink every sprinkling of fleur de sel." —The New York Times Book Review Acclaimed upon its hardcover publication as a "culinary treat for Francophiles" (Publishers Weekly), A Bite-Sized History of France is a thoroughly original book that explores the facts and legends of the most popular French foods and wines. Traversing the cuisines of France's most famous cities as well as its underexplored regions, the book is enriched by the "authors' friendly accessibility that makes these stories so memorable" (The New York Times Book Review). This innovative social history also explores the impact of war and imperialism, the age-old tension between tradition and innovation, and the enduring use of food to prop up social and political identities. The origins of the most legendary French foods and wines—from Roquefort and cognac to croissants and Calvados, from absinthe and oysters to Camembert and champagne—also reveal the social and political trends that propelled France's rise upon the world stage. As told by a Franco-American couple (Stéphane is a cheesemonger, Jeni is an academic) this is an "impressive book that intertwines stories of gastronomy, culture, war, and revolution. . . . It's a roller coaster ride, and when you're done you'll wish you could come back for more" (The Christian Science Monitor).
