I purchased this book for my 8-year-old son. However, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that this wonderful book was full of interesting facts that even I didn't know about George Washington and the history of the United States. This book kept my son's interest throughout its 43 pages of text, which is a rarity. And it also includes interesting illustrations including a photograph of a set of dentures much like George Washington must have worn (fascinatingly disgusting!). "George Washington: Soldier, Hero, President" provided a learning experience for both parent and child, and should be a valuable addition to anyone's home library.
My 4-year-old loves having this read outloud to him. He is fascinated by Washington as a soldier and through this biography has learned a lot about the way in which the revolution led to a new government and country. I would highly recommend this book!
This short biography of George Washington's live is great for classroom use. Written on a 3-4th grade reading level does not take away from the informational value of this text. The text does not leave out the important details to be found in most documentaries. Negative = the book refers to Washington as "George" through out. This often is a problem with children attempting to construct non-fiction writing pieces.
Ordered this book for my son doing a book report for homeschool and I was impressed at the shipment which may have been 2 days turnaround but it felt like it was here the next day! Book was in excellent, new condition. Very pleased with the purchase!
I really like this book. I have a first and second grader and we used it as a supplement during US History. It covers Washington's life from boyhood, through young adult, to soldier, general, and finally president. It gives a good, age appropriate, overview while also including some interesting details about his life. The kids and I have all found this book to be a good read.
Great book for new readers and ESL students. It's been along while since I have much of our history and I found it very interesting and refreshed my memory. Well done!
