5.0 out of 5 stars Best way to memorize the presidents, September 10, 2004

By

This review is from: Yo, Millard Fillmore! (And All Those Other Presidents You Don't Know) (Paperback)

For years, I have tried to get my reluctant memory to soak up the list of US presidents -- even using goofy mnemonic pictures from GENERAL memory books.

That picture stuff doesn't work, I thought.

I was wrong. After a few days of browsing through the funny memory cartoons and doing the quizzes, I know the presidents cold. And so will you.

I got my child to read this book with me as it's not supposed to be a "grownup" way to study the US presidents. Baloney! It's a great memory book for readers of all ages.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Rumors Are True, January 28, 2004

This review is from: Yo, Millard Fillmore! (And All Those Other Presidents You Don't Know) (Paperback)

My mom bought me this book when I was in 2nd or 3rd grade. I read the whole thing through in an hour or so, and I immediately had all the presidents memorized. When I was in 6th grade, one of the book's authors, Will Cleveland I think, came to my school. To start off his speech he asked if anyone knew who the 14th president of the United States was. I was the only one in the audience to raise my hand, and after I said the answer (Pierce), I told Mr. Cleveland I had read his book. He said I was proof that the book really works, and he was right. I am now in 10th grade, and can still name all of the presidents in order, along with all of the helpful clues in the books. I just passed Yo, Millard Fillmore! down to my 11 year-old sister, and it's working so far for her too. Long story short: this book works!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars I can't believe it actually works! BUT IT DOES!, November 8, 1999

I was a little scared when purchasing this book, but I needed to learn them and this seemed like my best opition. My advice to whomever is thinking about purchasing this book is to give it a chance. The whole time I was reading it I didn't think it would work- until I finished and knew everything.
