5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Presidential Overview, April 3, 2007

This review is from: Presidents of the United States of America (Paperback)

I ordered 2 different books on U.S. Presidents for my daughter's schoolwork, and this was definitely the best one. Very informative and concise, there is a two page spread on each president with one of the pages having a good sized color portrait of that president. Each article gives their name, order, years of presidency, a copy of their signature, and an overview of their life from childhood until death. This book is put out by the White House Historical Association and is a wonderful choice if you are looking for an informative glimpse of our current and past presidents. An entertaining read for children and adults.

This review is from: Presidents of the United States of America (Paperback)

We went to the Smithsonian Art Museum - Washington, DC - Aug 2007. They said that a book was no longer available that contained all the Nation's Presidents' paintings that they had on display. I figured I'd find an old book, but was very happy to find a book that contained most all of the paintings I saw, plus a better description of each of our leaders while they spent a term in office. I was impressed to see them up close at the museum, knowing the artist was just as close. Now I have this book as my souvenier and historical reminder of all our presidents images - done by a reknown artist - and their history. It's just what I'd asked for at the museum. They could sell a lot of these books if they had them on hand. Why wouldn't they stock them?
