President Taft Got Stuck in the Bath

I recently came across the book "President Taft is Stuck in the Bath" by Mac Barnett. In my years teaching I had never heard of this book, so I decided to read it. Taft was known for his size and it is rumored he got stuck in the bathtub. This book takes a funny look at this rumor and explores all the ways that they tried to get him out. Kids will love this hilarious book and will laugh out loud as you read! It is a new must read for Presidents' Day

After reading, I decided to create a craft to go along with the story.

Supplies:

1. President Taft Template
