Format: Paperback
My 7 yr old daughter is in 1st grade. She got this book after she had already learned the names of the presidents in order, along w/several facts (some trivial) about each. Still she poured over it to compare what she had studied w/what the book said. The small size, paperback nature, reading level, & casual drawings (like an elementary class project) make it VERY KID FRIENDLY. I understand that some adults might disagree w/which key details of each presidency were included or excluded, & that some info might be too simplified. I think the point is to understand the target audience for this book is elementary school children who will have a chance to study/grasp more in depth material later. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND it for the right audience.

This book is not meant to provide "balance" on each president, rather it is a wonderful introduction to each president and meant to appeal to a very, very young audience. I don't think the Watergate scandal would interest most preschoolers. My daughter (age 4) has been able to memorize all of the presidents thanks to this wonderful and very nicely illustrated book. It is a fabulous book and would highly recommend it to parents with young children.

This series is the best. Purchased the First Ladies for my 4 year old daughter and it quickly became her favorite book which is what led me to buy this one, "The First Gentlemen." :) Very educational with cute cartoon drawings. My 4 year old likes to be the teacher and read the book aloud to me - and she is able to recall many of the facts from the book. Great learning tool!

I love this book, I am 83 yrs old, and was very surprised to learn, A woman,Victoria Woodhull, ran for President in 1872,but Ulysses S. Grant won that year..It is a neat book to keep close and use it to surprise someone that is really very smart, with something they never heard before.

I bought this book for my twins who are in kindergarten. They are fascinated by the presidents & so I thought they would enjoy this book! Boy do they ever! They truly love it & always ask to read about a few different presidents each night. It's a great book for kids to learn! Very cute!

This book is excellent! I recommend it very highly. It turned my 6 year old cousin into a presidential wiz kid. You can ask him anything from the book and he knows it. It's presented perfectly for a young child. I am a teacher and use this book in my classroom as well.

My son loves it (4 year old). The only caveat, I added some real pictures of the presidents and glued them on top of the cartoons that are showed in the book. I also learned very interesting things about the presidents.

My son read the whole book to himself in about 2 or 3 sittings. He really liked it. I thought some of the facts that were included or omitted were a bit surprising, but I imagine it is hard to put together a book like this that will seem impartial to all adults.
