About this title

From School Library Journal:

ea. vol: photos. reprods. chron. index. (Encyclopedia of Presidents Series). CIP. Childrens. 1989. PLB $11.95. Grade 5-8-- Both of these presidential biographies are well organized, highly readable, and include useful indexes, tables of contents, etc., but not bibliographies. Both give excellent full-life coverage of their subjects. Kent offers a more interesting in-depth portrayal of Hayes than does Wade in the Harding biography, but then Hayes was much more of a public personage. Black-and-white photos and sketches enhance the basic text. These titles will have great appeal for both schools and public libraries, adding to the longtime biography assignment staple for older students, the Landmark series (Random). --Alice Cronin, Mountainside Public Library, NJ
