The entire "A picture book of..." biography series byDavid Adler is outstanding. Perfect for lower elementary studentsdoing their first real report. Makes a great read-aloud for non-readers as they are easily completed in one sitting. The cute cartoon-like pictures are kid friendly. But most importantly, they are loaded with information including a timeline of important events.

I am preparing a lesson plan for first graders and this book works great as an anticipatory set. The pictures are colorful and engaging. The book also brings simplicity to a biography about Washington, bringing up important facts and dates.

1. The book is about George Washington. The book started at his early childhood and goes to his death. He was a student. He loved arithmetic. Then he was a surveyer of the Virigina wilderness.He fought in the French and Indian War. He got married to a widow with 2 children. Then he was the leader of the Colonial Army.
2.This book made me feel different about the war because they had to suffer in the cold weather.
3. The setting taks place in a lot of different places. The main place of the is at his home. He rides his horse every were he goes.
4. I recomend thisn book to people who lokes to read Historical Fiction.

The picture book is an awesome referene for children to read and understand the story about Washington. Second Graders will have an easy access to information about George Washington. I strongly recommend this book for teachers to use in their class room. Celeste

A very informative book on George Washington. Gives a great overview of his life and accomplishments. Nice pictures too!

Start educating your children at a young age to learn about our first President of the United States. A terrific picture book filled with important information about Washington's life and also colorful, lively illustrations. Kids will love it! The entire series of children's books by David Adler are outstanding.

Great teaching tool. Concise, to the point with good illustrations. Easy for children to understand. Covers points from young childhood through death in a smooth format. I am looking forward to getting other titles from this series.

My children found this book relatively interesting and the pictures were also reasonably effective. It is a good introduction to President Washington for those who know little or nothing about him. I would have appreciated a little more or his actions during the Revolutionary War. There was almost nothing on this (crossing the Delaware, Valley Forge, etc.)
