Reviews

[Robert Sparrenberger · Rating 4 out of 5]

I read this one with my daughter. Each president is given one page summary with some stats on the side. Stickers of the presidents are included and a timeline for them to match them to the correct election. Questions at the end about a few of the presidents quiz the reader.

A good introduction to the presidents for ages 5 and up.
