This whole series is well-done and worth collecting. Large print and easy words combined with interesting story-chapters make for a great introduction to the presidents. Contents page lists each chapter title. Stories begin when he was a boy. Fun facts like, "He did not spell well. He wrote "soilder" for "soldier." help connect with kids. Later introduces terms like "the rough riders", "square deal," and "the big stick."
