The text is interesting and informative and the illustrations are fabulous, truly bringing history to life.

More thoughts to come. I read an Advanced Reader Copy thanks to HC.

More thoughts:

While reading this book in preparation for a President's Day promotion I feel like I've read it before. Perhaps as an ARC. (Coming her to type my notes, and seeing ARC marked, that's apparently so. Therefore a real review is overdue!) I think the concept of a biographical picture book with a full cover image portrait of the subject is exactly as it should be.

AG Ford does an amazing job with this type of picture book and brings the subject to life off the page. Full history and political details might be too difficult for the youngest learners, but books such as this give a glimpse that should be known. I'm definitely a fan of Jonah Winter now as well.

Thanks to HC.
