President John F. Kennedy was raised in the lap of luxury. One was a Republican and one a Democrat. They lived and served a hundred years apart. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYet they had a number of things in common. Some were coincidental: having seven letters in their last names. Some were monumental: Lincoln's support for the abolitionist movement and Kennedy's support for the civil rights movement. They both lost a son while in office. And, of course, both were assassinated. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this illuminating book, Gene Barretta offers an insightful portrait of two of our country's most famous presidents.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA New York Public Library Notable Best Nonfiction Book For Children\u003cbr\u003eAn NCSS Notable Social Studies Trade Book\u003cbr\u003eA Pennsylvania Carolyn W.
