Intermediate. This book has a poem about each president of the United States up through Obama. This book would be great to use in a history lesson, and students could pick one president to focus on. There were some things in this book that I didn't even know, so that was fun.

This book consists of poems of all of the presidents of the United States (up to Barack Obama). It goes beyond a become actually gives helpful facts about the individual presidents. What makes it more approachable, is its colorful illustrations of the presidents, and its sequencing of the presidents in historical order. Given that this book has 62 pages and has some longer poems, it would be better for children in second grade/third grade, who have had previous experience looking at poetry. This book would be best at helping solidify the concepts of rhyming, and repetition for a reading lesson (which would go over the structure of poetry, and what effect it creates). ( )

This book contains poems about every president from George Washington to Barack Obama. The poems share interesting facts about the presidents such as the fact that George Washington didn't sleep at the White House once, John Quincy Adams would swim naked in the river, Franklin Pierce trimmed the first White House Christmas tree, and Woodrow Wilson kept his own flock of sheep at the White House.

Playful political poems of the presidents! Sure, William Taft got stuck in his tub, but did you know that John Quincy Adams used to skinny-dip in the Potomac? Herbert Hoover spoke Chinese with his wife, and Gerald Ford had his name changed from Leslie Lynch King. ( )

This book is a collection of poems about the U.S. Presidents. Each of the poems has a fun fact about the different Presidents written after the poem. The poems are humorous and keep the reader wanting to know more about each President.
