If ever a book was designed for opening the eyes of Jr. High students, as well as adults looking for a bit of a "refresher course," this is it. It presents our presidents in a quick, concise manner, that makes one want to delve further into their lives and times. Without being ponderous, and/or preachy, it is informative, while also being one heck of a pageturner. Get it. Read it. Share it.

I bought this book for my second grader. He loves it. The book is colorful and interesting. It has a quick outline of each president as well as information on goverment and how it was formed. I even enjoy reading through it.

I got this book for my 6yr old son because of his interest in presidents and other important figures used on monies. We read about one every night before bed. In less than 2 months he can name all 43 presidents in random order, and also knows who is on each bill. also my 4yr old daughter can name all 43 by the pictures but it wont' be long. Can you do that, I can't. This is an excellant book to get them started on and to keep him interested in history. They are both excited about going to DC to see some of the monuments.

Good book for those with an interest in American history and our presidents. Our preteen knows a lot of presidential trivia, so this was a great resource for him to add to his knowledge. The adults of the family enjoy it as well. Good pictures and easy to understand.

This book on the Presidents is great for people of all ages. A great way to learn about our Presidents.

This book is negative when it comes to any the last 3 Republican Presidents but makes Clinton sound like a saint. No wonder I bought this book used for less then $5.00. Is there really an unbiased writer out there that can write a book about our Presidents and keep their feelings out of it.

This book on the Presidents is an outstanding book for people of all ages. A great way to learn who our Presidents were in the past and to learn about them. I would recommend this book to one and all...

This book is packed full of wonderful information. I had read that this leaned to the left, but (although I'd consider myself mostly leftist) I was overjoyed to find that it is no such thing. I mean, the Foreword was written by George W Bush! This is nothing more than a factual and historically accurate account of every American President. The pages are large, full colored and perfect for anyone looking for a quick referencing tool or something to hold a teen's interest in the subject. Buy now.

I checked this book out at the library and had to have it so I looked for it on Amazon. I got it for 0.24 + 3.99 shipping. It is an expensive big hardback book! My son is only 6 and he is so interested in it. We learn 1 or 2 new presidents a week on days when he feels like doing a little extra learning after he gets home from school. It got him so interested that we had to visit DC to see the monuments and the presidents homes (there are quite a few in VA).

This book is beautifully done. Full of helpful information. I purchased this book for my dad and he love it. I recommend this book to anyone who like national geographics. Pages of beautiful and realistic pictures.
