This is a nice, full-color, engaging book of the Presidents of the United States of America. The things I like about it are that it’s current. It includes a nice sidebar that gives pertinent information and then has some paragraphs, about 2-3 pages, about each one and often times it will include information about their families or “big” events that happened while they were in office. I find for my family, that it’s a great addition to our American history class and it’s great for my youngest all the way to my oldest student.

TIME for Kids: Presidents of the United States by The Editors of TIME for Kids is a book that contains a lot of information perfect for middle school aged children.

The book begins with the history of how the presidency began. It then explains the three branches of government and why we have political parties. Then it devotes one to two pages to each one of our 45 Presidents. For each President, there is a section on their basics: birth date and place of birth, date of death, family, years of presidency, political party and vice-president. It gives a brief biography of their time as President and key dates during their presidency. The picture of each President is tastefully done.

The end of the book gives a glimpse into the White House and a couple pages on the famous First Ladies. For your history and political-loving children, this is a great book to keep on hand. It would also be a great reference for all those school projects on Presidents.

I received the advanced reader's copy from Time Inc. Books and Liberty Street Books via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is a very informative book. It is a little bit more advanced than I expected based on the "for kids" part in the title. I'm hoping that my third grader enjoys it after learning about the election in school.

What better way to prepare children to understand the democratic process than to have them read about past presidents and their journeys to the presidency? Great for families to discuss with their children when the topics of government and citizenship come up. Keep it handy...your child might want to be president some day! The details in this book are well noted and most of the pictures are effective. Thanks to Netgalley and Time for Kids for allowing me to read this book.
