Best way to memorize the presidents

For years, I have tried to get my reluctant memory to soak up the list of US presidents -- even using goofy mnemonic pictures from GENERAL memory books. That picture stuff doesn't work, I thought. I was wrong. After a few days of browsing through the funny memory cartoons and doing the quizzes, I know the presidents cold. And so will you. I got my child to read this book with me as it's not supposed to be a "grownup" way to study the US presidents. Baloney! It's a great memory book for readers of all ages.

Unbelievable!!!!!!!

I am in a presidential class at a Univeristy and I had to learn all the presidents for class. I checked out the book and read it and within about 20 minutes i could write all 43 presidents from memory. This is unreal it really works!!!!

The Rumors Are True

My mom bought me this book when I was in 2nd or 3rd grade. I read the whole thing through in an hour or so, and I immediately had all the presidents memorized. When I was in 6th grade, one of the book's authors, Will Cleveland I think, came to my school. To start off his speech he asked if anyone knew who the 14th president of the United States was. I was the only one in the audience to raise my hand, and after I said the answer (Pierce), I told Mr. Cleveland I had read his book. He said I was proof that the book really works, and he was right. I am now in 10th grade, and can still name all of the presidents in order, along with all of the helpful clues in the books. I just passed Yo, Millard Fillmore! down to my 11 year-old sister, and it's working so far for her too. Long story short: this book works!!!!!

I can't believe it actually works! BUT IT DOES!

I was a little scared when purchasing this book, but I needed to learn them and this seemed like my best opition. My advice to whomever is thinking about purchasing this book is to give it a chance. The whole time I was reading it I didn't think it would work- until I finished and knew everything.

If you want to impress your friends, this book is for you!

This book is so good! It has great ways to learn every president in order very quickly. I read this book a few years ago, and to this day I can still name all of the presidents. This book is a must for any book collection.
