What Presidents Are Made Of Book

PRESIDENTS are made of BIG EATERS...and so much more!

You get a portrait of former U. S. president Jimmy Carter, who builds houses for the homeless.

See the presidents as never before — made out of objects! Using everything from blue jeans to boxing gloves, Hanoch Piven "builds" the characters of our leaders. And with revealing anecdotes to go along with Piven's creations, you'll never forget what makes up George (Washington), George (Bush), or anyone else in between.

Hanoch Piven's What Presidents Are Made Of is a truly weird picture book, but it will probably delight many readers, young and old. The illustrations of the presidents' faces -- which look a lot like Mr. Potato Head -- incorporate objects that tell something about them. For instance, George W. Bush is described as a sports fan, so he has a hot dog for a nose, a split bun for eyebrows, blueberry eyes and a baseball mouth. Andrew Jackson is deemed hot- tempered -- so bullets form his eyes; a red, white and blue boxing glove represents his nose; and a pistol makes his mouth.
