Presidents of the United States (America Handbooks, a Time for Kids Series)

This is going to be a book for kids. It gives just enough information about each President. It written so that the children can understand and hopefully want to discover more. Grateful job Time.

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.

This book is excellent for young children because it is presented in a somewhat positive light. It is a great place to begin a love of our United State's history.

Each page has enough information designed to not be overwhelming and is presented with lots of photos. It is broken up into sections starting with the different branches of the government and why that's necessary. It goes one to show our forty-five presidents which are broken down with facts, photo, and tidbits of information. Even the first ladies have a section of their own.

This book is a great springboard to begin an in-depth reading of our American History.

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.
