The “beautiful 200-year-old mansion on 18 acres of land right in the heart of downtown Washington, D.C.,” is better known as the White House. It’s where most, though not all, U.S. presidents have lived. Fun and fast, this lighthearted look at the residents of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is presented in sound bites and illustrations reminiscent of political cartoons.

What are presidents made of? These collage portraits take this question quite literally. Theodore Roosevelt is made of “endless energy,” created with wire and a light bulb, while Ronald Reagan’s picture uses the jellybeans he was so fond of. This unusual book concludes with an official portrait of all the presidents and their dates in office.
