Goddess of Chaos: This wonderful introduction to the life, and times, of George Washington balances the man with his deeds and accomplishments while providing context and helping make the world in which he lived understandable.

Who Was George Washington? paints the picture of a real leader, not a perfect man.

Nettlefairy: The “who was” books are really great, and this one is no exception. It’s a great way to teach children about people from history, as it is written in a clear, informative and fun way and the books aren’t too long or boring so children don’t lose interest. We use this in our home school.

Janete: Estou estudando inglês sozinha há dois anos, através de leitura de livros infantis.

Nível de inglês: pré-intermediário.

The story is even better and books of this reading level will get the facts straight and at the same time encourage our kids to read on. Nice job, I would buy the entire series and read them to my kids at night, at least as often as I read Harry Potter to them.

I like reading about how America looked back in the day and exactly how folks spent their time. Washington and his early days were spent as a privileged citizen. He became a very good horseman and was well respected. His early years as a military leader for the colony were not great. But he did show signs as a leader if not an expert military tactician. He was victorious 3 out of 9 major confrontations with the British. So his war record was not exactly good except for one major accomplishments- he outlasted the British and accepted their surrender at Yorktown. My 1st and 2nd graders were very disappointed that he didn't cut down the cherry tree, so I now leave that out of my...
