Meet George Washington,
By A Customer
This review is from: Meet George Washington (Step-Up Biographies) (Paperback)
My seven year old son loved this book. As a beginning reader, he never balked when told to sit and read. It provided a great springboard for discussions for bringing history to life and encouraged a love for history and reading!

Pretty Useful,
By tiffany carson (usa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Meet George Washington (Landmark Books) (Paperback)
This book is pretty useful for students in elementary school who need to know basic information about George Washington. The only thing I did not like is it did not make specific references to things such as the Revolutionary War, or the Declaration of Independence. The book would discuss these events in Washington's life, but they would not really callthe events by their names.

A brief and detailed biography,
By
This review is from: Meet George Washington (Step-Up Biographies) (Paperback)
The first thing that really struck me about this particular biography on President George Washington was the large font which younger readers and older eyes will both appreciate. The author swiftly moves the reader from Washington's childhood through the death of his older brother and his marriage to Martha Custis to the French and Indian War, the various battles of the Revolutionary War and his retirement and death at Mount Vernon. The story of Washington's chopping down of a cherry tree is included, but the author points out that the incident probably did not happen and that it is a purposeful story in that it shows forth the honesty of such a virtuous hero. This is a good way to introduce young readers to biographies. The large and interesting illustrations will be sure to keep their interest.
