President Taft is Stuck in the Bath by Mac Barnett illustrated by Chris Van Dusen*

Oh my!  What a humorous story about the twenty-seventh president of the United States.
No one is sure how true this story is but it has been passed down ever since his time in office.  The author explains the research and stories under the "author's note".   A photograph of President Taft's actual bathtub is included in the "author's note".
Wonderful illustrations by Mr. Van Dusen (illustrator of the Mercy Watson books, Tales of Deckawoo Drive, Randy Riley's Really Big Hit, and many other picture books).  He does a great job of covering parts that need to be covered!
*Highly recommend.
