Review # 1 was written on 2011-04-08 00:00:00 Nickarre Kiesman This is definitely a book that belongs in the social studies area in your classroom. When it comes time to learn about our founding fathers this is the perfect book. It gives descriptions of each of the four presidents and what they contributed. It also explains what President's Day is. This is a very informative book for children.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-03-14 00:00:00 Ludger Engels This is a simple and interesting book that describes a little about President's Day and focuses on four of the more popular Presidents in our country's history, specifically the ones on Mount Rushmore: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Teddy Roosevelt. The story describes a class assembly program, where each child represents a President or discusses some of their accomplishments. The narrative is short and the illustrations are colorful and depict a diverse elementary school-age class, likely between third and fifth grade. We read this book on President's Day in order to emphasize the importance of the holiday (and not just getting a day off from school.) We happened to be visiting my husband's sister and her family in Massachusetts and I insisted on reading this story to all the kids, even though the cousins are a bit older and have chosen not to participate in storytime with us anymore. Despite a few heavy sighs and rolling of the eyes from the tweener, I think we all enjoyed reading this short and entertaining story together, and I hope that we all got a little reminder about the importance of the day.
