Description
Take a snapshot tour of our U.S. Presidents, from Washington to Trump. Written by a 13-year old history buff, Solomon Schmidt, this book gives you small bites of information and pictures for every president some of them quite humorous. He introduces vocabulary with every president and ends each with three review questions. He even includes a glossary with all the vocabulary words. The grade range on this book is 3rd to 5th grade, but I think parents will enjoy the summary of historical facts in this book I know I did! Solomon has also written a book titled "U.S. History Bites" (#66006) that you might enjoy as well. You can learn more about Solomon and his family at historybites.com. ~ Donna

Like the first book,U.S. Presidential History Biteswas written to provide readers with bite-sized chunks of history with the goal of helping them increase their knowledge and retain what they have read. It has 280 full color pages with forty-five sections about all of the American presidents from George Washington to Donald Trump. To enhance comprehension, it also includes vocabulary, fun facts, and review questions for each section, along with a glossary at the end of the book. It can be used as the main text or as a supplemental resource for any elementary or high school level U.S. history program. It serves as a great read aloud but can also be enjoyed by independent readers, beginning in the primary grades. I really hope you enjoy it.
