Review

Originally published in 1992, this is a 2014 revised edition. This is a well written, age appropriate book that is informative and well illustrated with photographs and illustrations. There is a one page introduction to Presidents' Day, then 12 pages on the life of George Washington, 14 pages on the life of Abraham Lincoln. Then 3 pages explaining that we honor all the presidents who have served our country as well as American voters who "try to choose good leaders, and by voting, they help to protect our country's freedom." (page 32) Articulate, clear language, beautiful illustrations. A good choice to update your collection. For grades 1-4.

Overall Book Score: very good
