Presidents: Which book would you read?

[Trivium Academy]

We're starting a President project this year, a card for each one and I have a few books that I could read from but since dd is 8, I don't want to bog her down with a lot of dry facts.

I didn't vote because I cant decide between 2 of the choices. Yo Filmore and reading at age level. Both are suitable for the age.... but the Yo Filmore would be short and sweet... so... I guess after typing this out I would go for short fun facts....

 

My new school year motto: "Keep it simple sweetie" This is something I need to remember....

 

Edit: Ok I voted... yo Filmore

Landmark Freedom Baptist curriculum studies Presidents in 2nd grade history, another option.

I've got Yo, Millard Fillmore! on loan from the library and ds9 & ds7 are begging me to buy it. They can't wait for the daily president, and are bummed when we don't add a new one. I can't say they were this excited when I was just using flashcards :tongue_smilie:.

I have the Our Countries Presidents book, and it works fine. Short and sweet. But for the rest of our study I think I will be buying the Get to Know Your US Presidents series, because my kids LOVE them. At least they love the composer versions.
