Reviews for George Washington

[imagrtdnlvr · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This biography is about our first president. Each chapter gives a brief summary of his accomplishments. This is done in comic graphic style. My 10 year old son checked this book out of his school library for an assignment. He loved it and had to show me, so I thought I would use it for my biography requirement. I had heard of the new comic graphic style but had not seen it. I love this book and can see why my son loved it. I also love the bits of historical information they sneak in.As an extension, I would use this to introduce the biography genre to my class. I would have them do their own comic strip after reading the book. I would also have them write the important information from each chapter. After reading, I would have them create their own questions to ask the class.
