Review:
Our Country’s Presidents offers readers an inside view of all the presidents that have served in office.  Readers will see the successes and failures of these men from George Washington to Joe Biden. 

Since 1800 every president has lived in the White House. Thomas Jefferson directed many improvements and Theodore Roosevelt developed the West Wing. Did you know that it was Theodore Roosevelt who formed the National Park service in 1916? During the administration of James K. Polk, the first postage stamps, U.S. Naval Academy and the Smithsonian Institution began. Lyndon B. Johnson was the first president to take the oath of office on an airplane. 

This handy guide to the lives of the presidents is an eye opening experience. Within these pages are the history, private lives, accomplishments and failures of all the presidents to date. Also included are the vice presidents, first ladies, traditions, facts and comparisons of the leaders who shaped this country. Parents, teachers and kids of all ages will be engaged and enjoy all of the colorful illustrations and amazing photos shared here. The back pages offer more resources for learning and even a chart of election results.
