Review # 1 was written on 2020-08-05 00:00:00 Terr Bockl This over-sized, colorful book is a perfect read if you want to get a short summary of each U.S. president from Washington through Obama. It offers a great format and also adds in several 2-page summaries on various subjects, such as the electoral college, landmarks, political parties, etc. Each president has a block containing common facts on their personal and presidential stats along with their official portrait and 2-4 pages about their life before, during and after time in office. I read interesting facts that I knew, that I knew but had forgotten, and that I did not know. The back of the book contains a chart of each presidential election result, which can serve as a great reference. I LOVED THIS BOOK!

Review # 2 was written on 2017-01-17 00:00:00 Melanie Madore This is an amazing book! Designed to present each of the 43 individuals who have been elected to serve as America's President, it far surpasses a book of mini-biographies of people. It is a compilation of factual information relating to the Office of President of the United States of America, how the Presidency came to be, how the Electoral College works, voting rights, etc. Sequenced chronologically, the reader can follow through how the country developed under the leadership of each of these Presidents. From our Country's inception and formative leadership, through years of discovery and expansion and on into the atomic age, America has grown guided by our governing principals and leaders who strove for America's best The January 2017 edition of Our Country's Presidents: A Complete Encyclopedia of the U.S. Presidency was designed for the inclusion of the most recently elected President, Donald Trump, and released just days prior to his inauguration. Packed with lots of pictures that aid in understanding and focus on the points being addressed on each page, the book is a storehouse of information that children and adults alike will pour over for many hours returning to the book time and time again. Designed for ages 10 and up, I can actually see it being used also with younger children as one explains to them the election process and the inauguration of a new president. What an educational treasure this book is with it's short biographies of each President and other facts relative to the presidency. I highly recommend this for every school and public library, home libraries, and homeschool libraries. I received a complimentary copy from publicist to facilitate this review of my honest opinions.
