Is the chief justice a fun dad?
Kid-friendly biography of John Roberts Jr. focuses on humanizing anecdotes, includes candid talk of adoption

WASHINGTON -- John Roberts sounds like a fun dad.

Every Saturday morning, he makes bacon and waffles shaped like Mickey Mouse for his wife, Jane, and two children, Jack and Josie. If the kids don't act up during Sunday mass, he lets them play soccer afterward without changing out of their church clothes. One Thanksgiving, he helped Jack with a class assignment, dressing up a paper turkey as a pirate.

These and other little-known facts of Roberts's home life appear in a new kid-friendly biography, "John G. Roberts, Jr.: Chief Justice," by Lisa Tucker McElroy. It has just gone on sale at the Supreme Court gift shop.

Pitched at about a 6th-grade reading level, the 48-page hardcover book filled with family photos is part of a Lerner Publishing Group series that includes the life stories of Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.), Vice President Dick Cheney, Mother Teresa and, in another vein, Green Day, the rockers known for their hits "Wake Me Up When September Ends" and "American Idiot."

He's got a talent, that John Roberts.
