Review # 1 was written on 2013-06-15 00:00:00 Dave Douglass This is a 90 pg. book with illustrations and photos. It gives a brief, if but sanitized history of Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop. The preface states; "This book is one of a series originally written by faculty in a Kamehameha reading program. The books were designed to increase students reading skills and their knowledge of Hawaiian history and culture...." So it does give a brief history of Princess Bishop, but it is simple for children also to understand like a basic reading primer.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-01-02 00:00:00 John Martinelli At first glance this book probably looks like a boring book or a piece of material that your History teacher may make you read, but it's nothing close to boring, and if your History teacher does make you read this book then I applaude them for their good taste in books. "The President Is Shot!" talks about the assassination of President Lincoln shortly after the Civil war. Before purchasing this book I was always curious about the assassination of Lincoln and what was going on in John Wilkes Booths's head rigth before he shot Lincoln. This book has a lot of good info about Booth and Licoln, and the story isn't bad either. If your looking for a fun and easy way out of a book report then I wouldn't recommend this book to you but if you're looking for something a little different from your normal book routine then I would definetly recommend this one to you.
