Editorial Review

A noteworthy review of Our Presidents from Midwest Book Review on March 1, 2002

Cover: Harry S. Truman: Our Thirty-third President

These two ‘Our Presidents’ titles appeared last Fall but deserve ongoing recognition as excellent additions to the ‘Spirit of America’ series focussing on all 42 presidents. Ann Gaines’ Harry S. Truman covers the 33rd president, with 48 pages of detail beginning with his childhood and moving to his achievements while President. Sandra Francis’ Gerald R. Ford tells of a boy who loved football but became President in his adult years. Both include plenty of color photos, but with large print and information geared to report writing.
