I was annoyed to read the author's view of George W. Bush. He called Pres. Bush arrogant and listed one of his nicknames as "Incurious George." I have never heard anyone refer to him as "Incurious George." However, his review of Jimmy Carter, who can arguably be considered one of our Nations' worst Presidents, described Pres. Carter as a "committed man of peace." Carter lost re-election bascially because he was incompetent! Mr. Thorton, if you want to write books aimed at children, please be a little better at hiding your liberal bias.

I bought this for my 8 year old granddaughter for Christmas and she couldn't put it down. It it filled with interesting facts about each of the presidents - one page for each in an easy to read format. She kept telling me something she had learned about them. It may not get into the deep meaning of each presidency but it peaked her interest to learn more. She also is now familiar with the names and order of them. I plan to get her the Everything Book about the First Ladies as I'm sure that will be just as fascinating to her.

I purchased EVERYTHING KIDS' PRESIDENTS BOOK: PUZZLES, GAMES AND TRIVIA-FOR HOURS OF PRESIDENTIAL FUN for my seven-year-old granddaughter's birthday. She and her dad have been excited about learning about the presidents. The only problem seems to be that whenever one is looking for the book, the other is reading it. Could it be that I should have purchased the same book for each? I plan to buy other titles in the series.

I bought this for my son's 9th birthday, he absolutely loves facts, and was really into the states and presidents so I bought both The state and President books, It had some fun facts in it that he really got a kick out of. And I enjoyed reading about some of those "unknown" presidents.

My kids learned a great deal about the presidents with this book. It has activities that kept them interested. However, as we progressed through the book we noticed that it was written in a way that very much so painted a rosy picture of the Democrats while trying to make most of the Republicans look like incompetent morons. Some of the things that it said about George W Bush highly offended my 11 year old son. Not a total waste of money-they did learn things about the presidents. They just began to question if all the information was accurate.

The "Easter Bunny" nailed it with this one. My son is crazy for Presidents and maps so I jumped right on this. He loves wowing everyone with the trivia he's found in this book.

I myself was impressed with the style of the book. I currently have "The Everything Tween Book" on my nightstand!
