[Christine]

I was quickly sucked into this book. It is a nice refresher on history and the presidents, and it even has fun illustrations and pictures from important events in history. This was a fun read!

This was a very quick-reading and highly illustrated book. Like a guided tour of the Smithsonian's collection of Presidential treasures.
Highly recommended for high school and beyond.
