John Adams
This is a mid-elementary introduction to the life of John Adams, the second president. Venezia uses colorful pictures, cute cartoons, and simple text for young readers. The book discusses both President Adams good points (intelligence, courage, sticking to his principles) and his bad (stubbornness, arrogance). I didn't know he ran away from school when he didn't like the teacher, hiding it from his parents by hunting and playing outside until they caught on. I did know about the sedition act, which made the new Americans worried that the President might start acting like a tyrant. My students were interested in the text, and glad that Adams kept us out of war with France, but disappointed that he seemed like a difficult person to get along with.
We have enjoyed every Venezia biography we have used (artist, musician, President). I recommend the series as a read-aloud or read alone for 3-5th grade.
