Book Reviews of Don't Know Much About the Presidents (Don't Know Much About)
Book Review: Fun and Educational
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great introduction to presidents as others have said, but also to American history. The best thing about it is the time line provided with each president that lets kids know what was going on at the time of that president's term in office. It is fun to hear my kids tell others the silly facts they have learned about the presidents and it's impressive that a book could make this much impact on kids. They are learning and enjoying it! That always gets 5 stars in my book!
Summary of Don't Know Much About the Presidents (Don't Know Much About)
Which president was also a movie star?
What happened five days after the Union won the Civil War?
What food did Americans think was poisonous until Thomas Jefferson ate some?
Hail to the chief! Here's your chance to learn all about the presidents' important political achievements, their nicknames, hobbies -- even what kind of foods they ate. Best-selling author Kenneth C. Davis packs fun facts and cool quotes into his signature question-and-answer format. Who knows? After you learn so much about the presidents, maybe you will want to run for office someday, too!
Ready for some quirky facts about the presidents of the United States? Andrew Jackson had to sneak out of his own inauguration party and sleep in a hotel because his fans got so wild. Poker-playing Warren G. Harding once gambled away a set of White House china. Lyndon B. Johnson was an auto mechanic, a grape picker, and a high-school teacher before becoming president.
Kenneth C. Davis's tremendously popular Don't Know Much About... series takes on America's commanders in chief in this entertaining, often enlightening guide to the 43 presidents. Each president is allotted a page or three, which includes years in office, highlights of his time in power, and weird bits of trivia, including George Washington's propensity for brushing his horse's teeth every morning (although he himself didn't believe much in bathing) and spiffy dresser Chester Arthur's habit of changing his pants many times a day. A timeline runs along the bottom of most pages, describing major milestones in American history. It's fun and educational, how about that? (Ages 6 to 10) --Emilie Coulter
