Edwards does a good job of keeping children interested in Obama's biography; the details about his childhood and dog help connect the young reader to the subject. This series, Who Is...., is impressive in giving young people knowledge about important people in their lives, as well as in past history.
My students love the "Bobblehead Biographies" and the one on Barack Obama does not disappoint. It is well-researched, easy for second- and third-grade students to comprehend, and provides details about Obama's presidency in a balanced way. The book does not step into controversial territory, which is the way it should be for a book aimed at young readers. Highly recommended!
I purchased this book for my ten-year-old "tutee" who, after having read its last page, declared, "This is the longest book I ever read!". The content served well for my young friend to formulate penetrating questions about his "hero", President Obama whose haircut he emulates. The completion of the book brought forth a declaration, "I want to write him a letter!", for which he completed his graphic organizer and then the family moved to another area and he never got the letter written. I have considered putting the sentences from the organizer into letter form and may still manage to get it into the mail. Our president would certainly be flattered by the focus and the care that was directed to this letter-writing activity. Evidence of his affinity for the man could be observed on the warm Cincinnati day in May when he came to the reading room clad in a ski hat emblazened with the word, CHICAGO on the front which announced to this observer, "If The Man is from Chicago then I have a hat from there!".
My son do not like reading. However, we read this book in record time. This is an excellent book for the second grade student in your life.
This book was so good. Normally I don't really like the who was and who is. But I have to admit, this one was really good. I like history an things like that, but this is not history an I still loved it. This the best who is book I have ever read. So gonna read another one.
Your product was everything you advertise. I will be re-ordering products of this kind again. I have a President Obama Collection and this item will go very well with my collection. Thank you again, a well satisfied customer.
This book was very interesting but it was hard to keep track of the time in which the event was happening but otherwise I think it was excellent it had great vocabulary and awesome pictures to match the text
I really love these Who Was books. I have Walt Disney,The Beatles,Bill Gates,George Lucas,Steven Spielberg,and now this one. There are great to teach your kids about celebrities and people from history.
