  A Visual Classic

This book is visually stunning and provides an excellent overview of the life of George Washington. The pictures engaged my children (and myself) to the text. As a homeschooler, I was very impressed with the quality of this inexpensive book - a true treasure!
 
  Great Book!

This is a great book and I can't wait to use it in our study of George Washington! Awesome illustrations! Thank you!
 
  My favorite book about George Washington.

Beautiful painting-like illustrations and just the right amount of text per page make this book a winner. Very interestingly written and even though it is for children, I learned a bit about Washington.
 
  Wonderful Story and Stunning Illustrations...

Out of all the books we have read in honor of President's Day, this one stands head and shoulders above the pack. The story is superbly written and the illustrations by Michael Dooling are gorgeous. Giblin weaves from facts a story that is entertaining and educational. His writing personalizes the life of George Washington without getting too mushy for adults or too bogged down in language that children don't understand. He even debunks the myth of the cherry tree in a separate section entitled "More about George Washington". I originally borrowed this book from the library but purchased it here on Amazon to add to our personal collection. It's THAT good!

Enjoy,
Cris

 
  Helpful!

For all students, this book could be helpful in learning about George Washington, but for second language learners of any age the pictures assist in making connections so that the story can be told and understood. I appreciate this book very much!
