A newly revised edition of a backlist favorite! This inexpensive,
high-quality reference book that children have turned to for more than 20 years

chapter on the winner of the 1996 presidential election! Middle-graders can
find out the answers to such questions as: When and why was the White House set
on fire? Which president appears on the $5,000 bill? And who served only one

campaign memorabilia. It's American history in a nutshell.
