 Rating:  - THE NEW BIG BOOK OF U.S. PRESIDENTSI AM A HISTORY MANIAC. I JUST LOVE BOOKS ON HISTORY, AND THIS IS A GREAT ONE WHICH SHOWS EVER PRESIDENT, WHEN HE WAS PRESIDENT AND A BIOGRAPHY ON EACH ONE. I KEEP IT ON MY COFFEE TABLE AT ALL TIMES. EXCELLENT BOOK.

I liked that there was a picture of each and every president (perfect for visual learners), a nice timeline throughout the book, and some other pictures of related events. I also liked how it was so up-to-date and not missing any major events in recent history. My 80+ grandmother, my 58 year old father, and I all found it very interesting. It is a book that you could pick up and learn ... Read More Rating: - A perfect biographyThis book was great! I am a person who truly enjoyed this book. This book gives facts in an easy -to- find way. A person of any age- from a child to an adult would be able to read and enjoy this book. This book interested me to read more biographies on U.S. presidents. I, being a child when I read this, recommend it to everyone who likes non-fiction books.
