Wonderful composition of illustration with text. Great narrative voice. It has a map and historical timeline of events during his presidency. While the majority of story is around revolution, book does contain information about rest of life.

Well written, beautifully illustrated book. Highly recommend for anyone interested in the Revolutionary War or Founding Father John Adams. Even though it is highly illustrated, it may be difficult for young children or those will lower reading level. I can see using it as a read aloud for those students.

This book will definitely have a place in my classroom. It is a wonderfully written biography on John Adams, written for the late elementary/ middle school grades. The covers his young life right through to his death and is very good at depicting his life. His work as a revolutionary receives thorough coverage in the book.

Informative picture book about one of my all time favorite presidents, John Adams. Again I enjoyed the illustrations more than the writing in this National Geographic Presidential Series for young readers.

The author, Cheryl Harness, does an extraordinary job of telling about the life of our second president, John Adams. Actual quotes from the letters and diaries of John and Abigail Adams brings life to the patriot. Beautiful, detailed watercolors enhance the text. The book makes the reader realize the sacrifices made by our founding fathers.
