Simple and surface level as expected. But nicely historically accurate. A good introduction for a youngster.

George Washington is important and significant, but there's no real detail to this book. It was like a really long Wikipedia article. A little dumbed down even if it is for kids. My 3rd grader is super interested in the Revolutionary War but this book had very little he didn't already know.

Get introduced to George Washington in this factual book all about him! There are so many new things you will learn in this book. It tells of Georges hardships and of how he came to be the first president of The United States of America. George was always truthful, uplifting, inspiring, and above all, noble. He represented our country well during the time he served as our president.

This was a great read to a 1st-2nd grader. It was simple enough but contained enough history that it makes me want to get others in the series. The chapters were broken up nicely. I recommend this book.
