Biased
This book was so disappointing. It was incredibly biased. President Trump's page was just horrific. He only had 4 key dates in his presidency and one of them was testing positive for Covid 19. This is a key date? Another one was separating children from their parents at the Mexican border. Seriously? Not a single positive thing from his presidency was included, only nasty and negative comments. The description of this book is "Discover America’s rich history through the eyes of its commanders-in-chief". This book is clearly not through the eyes of the commanders-in-chief.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great, unbiased synopsis appropriate for all ages
Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2019
Verified Purchase
First - be careful about buying this used if you want the most recent president(s) to be included! The newest version does include Donald Trump, but as it was updated shortly after his election, there is no information about his accomplishments in office as there is for the other presidents.
A synopsis is given about each president, accomplishments, and sometimes challenges they faced. The information is factual and unbiased. There are also sections for presidential homes and vehicles, as well as a map of which state they came from and a section on particularly influential or unique first ladies.

I use this book as a homeschool supplement with my k5 and 2nd grader, learning about one President per week during the school year. As they get older, we will continue to use the book to review the presidents or as a general reference book. They have enjoyed this greatly combined with a magnetic puzzle of presidents, which gets one new piece each week.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's Good In Broad Strokes, Could Use More Detail
Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2024
Verified Purchase
This book is good at giving the broad strokes of presidential history and that's good for kids to get a good ground base on them. Some more detail would be nice and there are a couple of mistakes but I liked it.

I gave it a 4-Star review though because there are things they could have easily added like The Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights, and the other articles that were passed by presidents. They talk about them a bit, but why not include them? I think they are free to use but maybe it would have cost too much extra to print.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pictorial history of U.S. Presidents
Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2023
Verified Purchase
This book offers a history of the life and times of each and every U.S. President, from George Washington to Joe Biden. The illustrations are contemporary for each presidency, as if to transport the reader into the very era in which each administration unfolded. Each entry is brief but complete. The book ends with portraits of some of the better known First Ladies as well.
The book is published as a "Children's Visual Encyclopedia", but I have given copies to a few of my adult friends who found the volume helpful and, in fact, enjoyable. One friend, a doctor, told me that he knew very little about the presidents who were in office before his own birth, but that he had enjoyed seeing the development of U.S. history and culture through the pictorial account of the lives and experiences of all the men who served the country as presidents from the beginning of the republic until now. "I go back portions every day," he told me.
