Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
John Tyler
Megan M. Gunderson · 2009
60/100
👎 Skip It
The first accidental president is a genuinely interesting constitutional moment, and Gunderson gives it an age-appropriate treatment with the timeline and fast-facts backmatter that educational series do well. Tyler is a niche subject though, the format is thin, and there are no critical reviews — this earns its place in a presidential-series library set but has little independent draw.
