The reading level is on the easy side of level 3, in my opinion. This is good for *some* background on Adams, but it does not cover his eloquence or genius. For those traits, Jefferson gets all the glory (which is not untypical.)Nice information on Abigail.Good illustrations.
My second grade son and I have enjoyed reading this and the other Stories of Famous Americans. We are studying early American History and I really enjoy offering him readers with historical content. He enjoyed this story so much, he has decided to pursue a law degree and become a politician himself(for this week!). I love books that encourage him to reach for the stars.
My son had to write a report on John Adams. This book's text was readily readable, but still contained lots of useful information, including facts I didn't know myself.
Good book But it's for 6yrs old so, the level is too high for her. I have to summerized the information
