A First Look at America's Presidents
Reminiscent of Scholastic’s “True Books,” these titles are ideal introductions to the most studied presidents. Each spread features an apt illustration with a few sentences about the subject, while the opposite page is designed to look like a bulletin board, with full-color maps, paintings, and drawings “attached” with pushpins. Despite the brevity, the sentences are informative, with not a word wasted. VERDICT: Though these are sanitized biographies, they’re suitable for the audience.
