Nicole Hadley (380 KP) rated Kid Presidents: True Tales of Childhood from America's Presidents in Books
Jun 18, 2018
The information is presented in a humorous and engaging way. By presenting information this way children will realize that they do not have to be perfect or great at everything they do; they just need to have motivation, interest, and the will to succeed in order to be successful. By reading this book children will learn that they to can have a positive impact on the world they live in.
This story shows that the American Presidents were normal children. Some were outdoorsy. Some were bratty. Some were brainy. Some were a complete mix. I loved the illustrations of the presidents. The illustrations really enhanced the book. The childhood biographies and fun facts helped to make the book interesting for children and adults.
This book could easily be used by parents and teachers to help children become interested in history and to learn about the popular and not so popular American Presidents.
I highly recommend this book. I give this book a 5/5 stars.
I received this book from Quirk Books via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
