great children's book of American history & our first president!

I think this book would be a good book for someone who likes History. This book was bout George Washington and what he did growing up. He wan in the Army for a very long time. This book was not a good book for me because I have a hard time unserstanding what all he had gone through. This book was a biogerphy.

This was a great first book for kids to learn who George Washington is and what he has done for our country.

This was a fast 15 min. read. It told about George Washington's life from beginning to end and had all of his marvelous adventures, like the boston tea party and how he became the first president of the untied states of america!

This cover has a very amazing illastrations (Though there is only few...) and I really liked how he said after the war: "Now I will rest under my vine and fig tree." And when he died they buried him under his vine and fig tree!

About the Step-Up Books
Published in the 1960s and 1970s, they serve as a follow up series for students who have surpassed the reading level of the I Can Read books. They are simply narrated and have short sentences. They are broken into chapters that consist of about three pages usually. Pictures are throughout.

For the reading level that this is geared for, they are written well. I enjoyed the stories and the facts I learned from them. A good source for additional reading material for your beginning reader and good books to use to graduate your child from picture books to something more substantial.

Read this for Crosby’s BookShark curriculum. It was a nice historical read. Crosby enjoyed it!

Great bio for grades 2-4. Read aloud to the kids in one sitting.

I recently came across a first-edition collection of “Step-up” books from the 1960s, much to my joy. I’d been looking for these books for years because they were the first real books I read in that long-ago. I must have been in second or third grade when I’d sit on the floor of that little one-room library, and devour the big words and pictures in these wonderful books. Now, after 50 years, I have a set of them in my hands again. Looking at the fantastic illustrations is like traveling back in time. I remember many of those images as if I just saw them yesterday. That says something about the artists. I didn’t know what to expect of the writing, but I was thrilled with what I found in this one about George Washington. It was a fun read, and there’s a surprising chunk of information here for a young reader.

An easy to read biography on the life on George Washington.

I liked it.
