From School Library Journal:
Gr 3–8—This overview of U.S. presidents begins with a short synopsis on the creation of the U.S. government. Well-known presidents like Washington and Lincoln each receive a spread, while less covered leaders are given one-page summaries of their terms. A time line of key dates runs along the bottom, providing some historical context. Each president's picture is included, with a snippet of information, such as dates in office and descriptions of family members, appearing underneath. Most images are in black-and-white, but the opening sections are in color. There are a few historical interjections throughout on topics such as westward expansion and the first ladies; material on the 45th president will be included following the upcoming election. Links to additional content about noteworthy U.S. sights can be found in the "Explore Some More" section, and a "Presidential Gallery" contains each president's picture and name. VERDICT Consider for collections that serve election-hungry students.—Ellen Norton, Naperville Public Library, IL
