This book has been updated to include the election of 2000 with the biography of George W. Bush. Presidents are indexed and an appendix includes a complete listing of all presidents, vice presidents, and the dates of their administrations.
This book is a wonderful read for kids in 4th and up. It will allow them to see how the life of a President is full of many decisions. Each President brought something new to the office. They were able to help and mold our country. The facts in this book will engage you and want you to read more. I would recommend this book to adults and children.
The illustrative photography is absolutely beautiful and brings to life each of the presidents and their terms of office. A great resource for home study, reports, or simply perusing for one's enlightened enjoyment.

This book is a nice introduction to the presidents of the U.S., including just 1-2 pages for each president. Skarmeas presents a very short biography for each president, as well as some basic information and a quote from one of the president's speeches or writings. In the end, this is a great introduction to the men who have held the office of president of the United States.
