This review is from: Ulysses S. Grant: Eighteenth President 1869-1877 (Getting to Know the U.S. Presidents) (Paperback)
In Venezia's skillful hands, even the most obscure people (in the minds of today's elementary school set) become quite interesting. All of Venezia's books are wonderful, and this one about Ulysses S. Grant is no exception.
Venezia uses a mix of lively text, interesting period art and photographs, and humorous graphic art (think comic strip) to tell the rather fascinating story of this famous American president, Civil War general, and respected author. Venezia handles Grant's drinking issue sensitively, and does a great job of helping kids understand how Grant could make such good decisions as a general, and such dubious ones (mainly hiring his crooked friends) as a president. All in all, my kids all came away with new appreciation and respect for U.S. Grant. |
