5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for the Age Group, December 3, 2009

This review is from: Andrew Jackson: Seventh President, 1829-1837 (Getting to Know the U.S. Presidents) (Paperback)

My son (age 8) is slightly obsessed with American presidents right now so we have done our fair share of reading on this subject. Some of the books are full of information, but difficult to slog through because of how 'dry' they are. Some are written in an exciting way but a little too light on the facts. This book was a perfect mixture of information and age appropriate humor. My son has enjoyed this book more than any of the other President biographies he has read. He especially loved the cartoons and laughed out loud several times. He also learned a good amount of information about Andrew Jackson, including the things that history sometimes likes to gloss over (Indian Removal Act). I was pleased and my son was very pleased. I hope our library has more of this series, and if they don't, I might just have to get the entire collection myself.

This review is from: Andrew Jackson: Seventh President, 1829-1837 (Getting to Know the U.S. Presidents) (Paperback)

Ordered this as a resource before our trip to Nashville, and an educational visit to The Hermitage. Read book on plane to my 8 year old in about 10 minutes. It was a perfect snapshot to frame and reference our visit to Jackson's plantation. This is intended to be a quick snapshot of the main and impressive points of AJ's life, and appropriate for 4th grade and lower (in my opinion). This series is fantastic, and now we will be reading them in their entirety as our study of the Presidents.
