Gr 3-5-Just one look at the covers of these three titles is enough to intrigue readers. Each book has a cartoon on the front mixing a bit of humor with historical fact-the one for our 10th president has John Tyler looking over an array of wigs, saying he's getting ready to join the Whig party. Venezia tells each president's story by assembling fascinating information, portraits, paintings, photographs, and more cartoons. The men's lives are clearly portrayed from childhood through their years in office until their deaths. Great for reports, these books also make for interesting recreational reading, and the comics serve as memory aids. Beneficial additions to any collection.-Anne Knickerbocker, formerly at Cedar Brook Elementary School, Houston, TX Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
