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!

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!

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!

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.
