This is a biography of the first president of the United States of America. This biography was very informative and had some interesting pictures placed throughout the book. I would use this in my classroom to introduce George Washington and the Revolutionary War. This book is suitable for 3rd and 4th grades and could be used in the theme of Revolutionary War.
Story of Washington's struggles, triumphs and legacy.
