The Our Presidents Series is perfect for elementary and junior high age students learning about U.S. History. Each book chronologically covers the life of the featured president from birth to death (or life up-to publication date). It also contains “interesting facts” that are clearly displayed in the margins, detailed timelines, a glossary, a complete list of our U.S. Presidents with details on each president, and additional Presidential facts and resources for further research.

*Additional Note: This is the first book in the collection that's publication date was during the presidents term. Leaving off more than half of Bush's presidency. Hopefully a revised edition will come out soon.

This was a really good book!!! The book George W. Bush was about his life and his family. It talked about him growing up, his time as governor of Texas, and being elected as our 43rd president. It also discussed the terrorist attacks of September 11. You would like this book if you are interested in politics or even just presidents.
