He wasn’t always the easiest President to get along with, but by the end of this program John Adams may be one of your favorite historical characters! In this fast-moving adaptation of Mike Venezia’s popular book, Adams narrates his own biography, from his school-skipping, kite-flying childhood to his term as second President of the new American Republic. With its cartoon kings, talking chickens and torch-toting protestors, this is a story kids will remember, told with a cheerful blend of historical fact and animated action.
