    Fun History Addition!
    Review by Crystal
    Our family loves all the books in this series, and this one is no exception! We really enjoy the brief, yet interesting biographies of interesting people. I like how the author chose some well-known presidents, but also added in a few that we don’t tend to study in depth. I also appreciate how each president’s faith in God is reflected in the story. This series is a great addition to a morning basket, and we enjoy adding them in to supplement our American History studies.
    Encouraging
    Review by Yulia
    Amazing American Presidents is an important addition to the series. I like that the author chose these particular 10 presidents and highlighted their walk with God. It was interesting to learn about their childhoods and upbringings. It was encouraging to learn about lives and struggles of these incredible men and God's providence and protection in their lives. Kids can learn in this book that they can achieve a lot of things under the guidance and providence of God if they only seek and follow Him. Anything is possible with God. Beautiful and gentle enough stories for upper elementary an up. Great read aloud or an addition to any history course.
    A Great Addition to this Series!
    Review by Becky V.
    Another great addition to the What a Character! series. Amazing American Presidents dives into the lives and accomplishments of 10 American presidents. From Washington to Reagan, and many in between, the stories of these presidents are made real and brought alive.

    While geared toward 6th grade and up, we love using this series as a read-aloud to go alongside our history spine or as independent readers for my upper elementary kids. I often find these books missing as my kids have grabbed them to read on their own! We will be using this to supplement Meet the Chief (also by Master Books) to dig deeper into the lives of some of the presidents.
