Synopsis:

The sixth edition of a popular favorite, this digest-sized, easy-to-read book features summaries of each president and his term of office -- from George Washington to the president elected in 2004!

Hail to the chief! The highest title in the United States belongs to the president. Our 44 presidents came from many backgrounds and parts of the country. Here, readers will learn about all the inspiring individuals who've occupied the Oval Office--from George Washington to George W. Bush! Chock full of information, this accessible book chronicles each president's life and times, and even highlights some funny anecdotes. The process of electing a president is clearly explained, as is the job of a president. Freshly updated for '04, the cover will feature the newly elected commander-in-chief!

From School Library Journal: Grade 4-7 Direct writing marks this collective biography, written for a younger audience than Beard's The Presidents in American History (Messner, 1985). Sullivan provides three- to four-page individual summaries of the Presidents' lives, illustrated with portraits of the Presidents and reproductions that illuminate the times in which they lived. These profiles are accompanied by lists of biographical facts and key events during each administration. They are preceded by an overview of the electoral process today and the President's duties; this section is divided by frequent subheadings that help make the information more easily retrievable. The text is set in a large typeface, and much white space gives the book a clean look that browsers will find attractive. Sullivan does not go into as much detail as Beard, and he does not address the Cabinet other than to cite its current make-up, but the information he includes is factual and appropriate for report writing.
