This book would do well on the shelf of a middle school or even a late elementary school teacher's classroom. It has just a little bit of trivia about each president which could serve as a nice jumping off point for a student looking to research a president. The lay out was fun and the facts were interesting.

[Matt]

Pretty simple, but that is what would make it great for teenagers that are just getting into history.

[Julie]

Mostly accurate and informative. Contains some minor inaccuracies.

[Drew Williams]

It was fun and interesting, but the factoids were randomly distributed making it hard to truly obtain and retain them, and even more difficult to find them again.

http://nhw.livejournal.com/61371.html[return][return]A harmless little book picked up at the Smithsonian shop in Washington National Airport. I did not know that two nineteenth century presidents were arrested during their terms of office for offences involving horses. You learn something new every day.

It only goes up to the first George Bush but the info was very interesting. I learned a lot of interesting facts.
