Industry Reviews
Gr 7-10 This book describes the recreational activities enjoyed by presidents throughout our history, explains the importance of such outlets for those who hold that high-stress office, and shows readers how their differing personalities influenced their choices of pastimes. Sullivan's final chapter, ``Looking Back,'' shows the ways presidents (and regular, ordinary people) played before the advent of modern, organized sports, detailing such activities as hunting, fishing, riding, and shooting. There are numerous, candid, action photos and illustrations reproduced in black and white, as well as an appendix that provides the height, weight, and sporting interests of each president. Sullivan writes well and the topic will draw some casual browsers, but its narrowness of scope will restrict the book's use for reports. It is a good companion to Barbara Seuling's The Last Cow on the White House Lawn (Ivy, 1992) and Sid Frank and Arden Melick's Presidents (Hammond, 1982), and should be considered as an additional purchase.
