Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 5-9-Each of these concise, well-researched, and accessible titles explores the life of a U.S. president. The first two chapters are devoted to the subject's childhood and early adult years, while the next three focus on the men's political careers and presidency. Chapter six concludes with a look at the individual's accomplishments in his post-White House years. With endnotes for each chapter, these books present much worthwhile information. The emphasis on Web sites makes them real time-savers for students. Five pages of editor-evaluated, annotated Web links precede the text. These sites, accessed by going to www.myreportlinks. com, offer both primary and secondary sources. Web-site screens illustrate and complement the text. In fact, each spread resembles a computer screen with text framed with a tool bar at the top and scrolling arrows at the sides and bottom. Three solid examples of the creativity and usefulness of a collaboration between text and Internet resources.
