Time for Kids: Presidents of the United States

TIME for Kids Presidents of the United States by [The Editors of TIME for Kids]

















Here is the book summary:
TIME For Kids presents a complete overview of our nation's chief executives from George Washington to the newly elected 45th president!

Did you know that James Monroe was the first president to appear without a wig in public? Or that George W. Bush appointed the first African-American secretary of state? Presidents of the United States invites the reader inside the White House to discover fascinating facts about the U.S. commanders-in-chief-their origins, accomplishments, and place in history-as told through famous quotes, important historical dates, and a timeline of events. Special sections cover the election process, the branches of government, and the role of presidents in the expansion of our nation from before the 13 colonies through westward expansion. With more than 200 photographs, illustrations, portrait reproductions, and maps.


And now, my review:
This is a nice, full-color, engaging book of the Presidents of the United States of America.  The things I like about it are that it’s current.  It includes a nice sidebar that gives pertinent information and then has some paragraphs, about 2-3 pages, about each one and often times it will include information about their families or “big” events that happened while they were in office.  I find for my family, that it’s a great addition to our American history class and it’s great for my youngest all the way to my oldest student. 
I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
