I am a Kindergarten teacher and I really appreciate having books to use that give accurate information on topics I teach. This book does a super job describing the responsibilites of Presidents. We are even told that not everyone will agree with the decisions that the President makes and that the President will not always agree with congress (veto). The kids loved the part where the President's dog is in the newspaper because she had puppies. The use of children in the illustrations was appealing to my students. Preschool, Kindergarten, First Grade teachers should get this book!

This book is written from a child's prespective.... if I were the President I would... It goes through the main duties of a president in an interesting, clear way accomapnied with nice illustrations. I loved that it explained in simple terms that the President does what he things is best (with help of cabinet..), but not everyone agrees. What a great first introduction for 4-8 year olds!

This is a great book for kindergarteners: good pictures, text that is completely on their level, not too long. The information is appropriate and makes the office of president something they will understand better.

Bought this because author was coming to my son's school, so he could get it signed. It's okay. Not much about it that would hold a child's interest unless they were politically obsessed, but what child is?? Artwork is very sub-par for kids books.

This book is a winner! If I Were President is a fun, yet informative, book about the presidency for a young child. Illustrations are appealing to kids and the text is easily understood. A delightful read aloud for adult and child!

IF I WERE~PRESIDENT by Catherine Stier and illustrated by DyAnne DiSalvo-Ryan is an amazing Children's Book/Educational/Picture Book. What a delightful way to teach young readers,Kindergarten to Grade 2 about the president. Written with details a young reader can understand,beautiful illustrations, and some generation formation. A must for not only young readers,but for grandparents and educators alike. I loved this book from beginning to end. Even I learned a few things or too. Easy to read and easy to follow. A must read! Received for an honest review from the publisher.RATING: 4.5HEAT RATING: NONE(CHILDREN'S BOOKS)REVIEWED BY: AprilR, Review courtesy of My Book Addiction and More

This book is great. Not only does this book show kids from various backgrounds in the presidential position, but there is valuable vocabulary and accurate descriptions in grade-level language. A must-have for any elementary social studies educator.

This charming book will delight children and it's fun for parents, too. It gives insight into everyday Whitehouse life while providing factual information. Maybe it will even inspire a future presidential candidate.
