This was a really well written biography, written in a 'storybook' format to hold the attention of the reader instead of just facts on a page. Started with his childhood and included events going on during Mr Kennedy's life. So many times authors leave that out so we as readers often forget these folks didn't live in 'our time' so adding in events such as World Wars and things help places them in their timeframe and the struggles they had to endure. In this book from time to time there are pages where the text is different and the author gives a half page to page 'History' lesson on something happening within the story. Such as she explains Irish Immigration,Prohibition, Hitler and War World II,Congress, etc. At the end she gives a time line of Mr Kennedy's life and on the next page across from it a timeline of events of the world so you can compare in a timeline. She also (which I LOVED) at the end she included a Bibliography.

This book is very nice to sit and read if you have an intrest in learning about JFK. It's a wonderful book for students that may be needing to write a paper on anything from 1920-1960's. So much wonderful information in this book and presented in a pleasant wonderful way!

I really appreciated the way Ms McDonough started this book, because she wrote about him being a 'hero' and saving a fellow military friend. Then took you 'back in time' and started telling about his birth and youth. So you already have an image in your mind of him and want to read more to find out the entire story. That was a nice beginning.

According to this book, John F Kennedy had many careers, Naval Captain and a very important politician. Yona was a great author and inspiring me in my political life. The way JFK was described as a hero and a great leader was amazing! I just can't wait to read more of these books!!For now I Just want to stick with history.

This book was good. It was kinda cool to learn about JFK. There were a lot of facts about JFK in this book that I didn't know.

The Main Character of this book was John f Kennedy
The genre of this book is a biography
The setting of this book is mostly in the United States of America in the 1900s
John was a president in ww2 who saved multiple lives and was a great president
My favorite part in this book is when he survives scarlet fever at the age of 2 and a half this is my favorite part of the book because it shows that he was strong and determined from the start of his life

Great biography book for children! Some of the paragraphs are a bit choppy and sometimes don't always seem to fit but are added because it was a part of his life. I would prefer if the paragraphs and sentences flowed more easily and better, but it is still a good biography book nonetheless.

story. But why do they need to kill presidents. Yes some people hate the president a but did we get two terms. Which is 8 years. And they could get one term and that's only four years. Can't they wait that long. Any leads on to that story. So John F Kennedy is the second eldest in all of the 9 children. So John wants to fulfilled his father's dream which is to become the president. Now Joe who is the eldest he was the smartest the fastest and the best. Now John had many fever and types. Like diarrhea and scarlet fever. As he grew he was a captain of a ship and then the ship sank everybody Escape except about 11 people. There were 11 people with escaped too. But one of them got severely burned and then the captain is not leave him in the ocean he clutched the teeth with the string of the life jacket and then when they reach land it was a coconut and have it was broken into half and one of it said here's your Escape island or something like that. And since he drinks so much elsewhere in the ocean he collapsed on the island. But he was alive still. Then he also had a spine problems a hurted a lot. And then at the end of the story he gets shot. And it was too late when he got the hospital so he died. And the person who did the shooting I got in jail. The people say that they were two shooters because they were coming from two different directions. It was a sad but what can we do. Anyways the end. Oh and also want that whenever the pain got so much worse used a clutcher. And as the pain got bigger and bigger the doctor said that he should get a rocking chair. Now it's done.

The first thing that would make you happy with the new program is not the civil rights movement. The government has been trying to establish the new bill for the poor and homeless people. I have a couple of things to say about the new bill but it will probably be the same thing that you would have expected. The government is also seeking a new role for the president and helping with its own development and cooperation in the region of United States of America.under pressure from the civil rights movement and its part in the U.S.A. Who first was the best friend of Tom.

Q... If you became the prime minister, what would you like to decide or do for Japanese people?
A... I'd like to decide the system of education!! Because I experienced not good educational system. As we know, the system was already changed. But, I think that it's necessary to change more!:D That's why I'd.

My thoughts:)
Before I read this book, I've known this sentences he said,
"And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country." I found that meaning of his from this book! I really like his word, attitude, and what he did during the term of the president.
I respect him!

Q... If you had an illegal father, could you follow him??
A... Even if he is my real father, I couldn't follow him. It is because I want to have priority over justice!!!

My thoughts:)
I read this book because I'm interested in people who are related with Boston I went!!
Also, I knew just the name and he was the president of the U.S.
So, I wanted to know him in detail and chose this book!!:-)
I look forward to the next chapters.

I totally teared up when I read that his son saluted his coffin as it passed.

This was a great read-aloud with the kids. Very informative, yet accessible even to my 5 year old. We had a great discussion after we finished about conspiracies and debated about whether Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone or not.
