Customer Reviews

super biography
As a teacher, I found this book to be informative and grade-appropriate. Caplan brings history alive by vividly describing FDR's early life, political career, and presidential policies and actions. Since they are filled with photographs and activity sidebars, the pages are visually pleasing and easily capture the attention of young readers. This is a great overview of one of America's most influential presidents!

Son loved the book.
My 11 year old son received this a few years ago and stated it is very interesting and a good read.
