5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating and interesting introduction to the presidents for kids!, January 11, 2009

By	R. Arthur (Charlton, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this for my 8 year old granddaughter for Christmas and she couldn't put it down. It it filled with interesting facts about each of the presidents - one page for each in an easy to read format. She kept telling me something she had learned about them. It may not get into the deep meaning of each presidency but it peaked her interest to learn more. She also is now familiar with the names and order of them. I plan to get her the Everything Book about the First Ladies as I'm sure that will be just as fascinating to her.

5.0 out of 5 stars Impressed with the quality and the substance of this book, September 2, 2008

By	Ann C. Rudolph (Hilton Head, SC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I purchased EVERYTHING KIDS' PRESIDENTS BOOK: PUZZLES, GAMES AND TRIVIA-FOR HOURS OF PRESIDENTIAL FUN for my seven-year-old granddaughter's birthday. She and her dad have been excited about learning about the presidents. The only problem seems to be that whenever one is looking for the book, the other is reading it. Could it be that I should have purchased the same book for each? I plan to buy other titles in the series.

I bought this for my son's 9th birthday, he absolutely loves facts, and was really into the states and presidents so I bought both The state and President books, It had some fun facts in it that he really got a kick out of. And I enjoyed reading about some of those "unknown" presidents.
