Thoroughly enjoyable book, by George!Review Date: December 10, 2001 Reviewer: , From the first George to the latest (wouldn't it just be easier if we voted for the one called George..?) each president is given a few pages of analysis and historical outline - just enough to set each apart for his own achievements, failures, characteristics and ultimate fate (and other, trivial stuff too..just as interesting - read about Gerald Ford. No, really...) in a fascinating setting. And our ultmate fate? To read more about our chosen subject, put the book down having found sufficient information or, as in my case, to keep reading the well structured and accessible text. In short, if you thought presidents, especially dead ones (not the greenback kind) were boring, oh you were wrong! A book every home should have! I love it! Great Introduction to US Presidents for ChildrenReview Date: February 17, 2004 Reviewer: Wayne A. Smith, Wilmington, DE This is exactly the kind of book that can introduce history and government to young readers. Ann Bausum, for the National Geographic Society, has put together a first-rate book on our country's presidents through George W. Bush.
Each president has at least a page dedicated to their life and presidency as well as a portrait and illustrations of events current to their times. Presidents such as Lincoln and FDR and those who have served in the modern era have four to six page spreads describing their elections, the issues, their lives and the challenges they faced as president.
The write-ups are excellent summaries aimed at explaining the highlights to youth. The photos, paintings and other illustrations make this a very inviting book that some children will browse while others delve into the writing. Either way, older elementary school children have a very inviting and informative introduction into our presidents and history that should capture young imaginations.
Great Book from National GeographicReview Date: January 24, 2009 Reviewer: Spicy R Pepper, San Diego, CA USA This is a fantastic looking book. A full page portrait of each President begins each profile and there is a great reference table listing facts including the election year, 'number of presidency', chief opponents, vice president, and even the percent of votes and electoral votes received. Includes Barack Obama!!! I highly recommend this book. A Complete book about the PresidentsReview Date: April 28, 2009 Reviewer: Waiting for a Girl Like You, Seattle, San Francisco, & Santa Cruz USA This is a great complete book on the latest version of this book with all the great presidents, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Calvin Coolidge, Franklin Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenhower, John F Kennedy, Ronald Reagan and my favorite Barack Obama. I had this book at school, only the first pressing with George W. Bush in it. This is a much more up-to-date version. It also shows the 2008 election in it too. I really have enjoyed this book since I purchased it 10 days ago. It is a must have for children who need good education about the United States.
