Summary: Best way to memorize the presidents
Review: For years, I have tried to get my reluctant memory to soak up the list of US presidents -- even using goofy mnemonic pictures from GENERAL memory books.

That picture stuff doesn't work, I thought.

I was wrong. After a few days of browsing through the funny memory cartoons and doing the quizzes, I know the presidents cold. And so will you.

I got my child to read this book with me as it's not supposed to be a "grownup" way to study the US presidents. Baloney! It's a great memory book for readers of all ages.

Summary: It really works!
Review: I just spent the day with my grandchildren (ages 7, 5 and 3). I took this book with me and presented it to the 7 year old. He absolutely devoured it (he is very high functional - reading far above his age). He got a kick out of the presentation and several times said "Oh, I get it!". I purchased Yo Sacramento also. Both are well worth the money.

Summary: I can't believe it actually works! BUT IT DOES!
Review: I was a little scared when purchasing this book, but I needed to learn them and this seemed like my best opition. My advice to whomever is thinking about purchasing this book is to give it a chance. The whole time I was reading it I didn't think it would work- until I finished and knew everything.

Summary: Fun book for all
Review: I was on a pop quiz team in high school so knowing the order of all the US Presidents was imperative and the book helped accomplish that end. It uses cartoons and silly phrases that are easy to remember and visualize. Now I will never forget that JFK was the 35th and Buchanan was the 15th. Rock Forth.

Summary: It works!
Review: I'm a high school junior and I'm still using this book for all my quizes and tests. While everyone else in my class was struggeling through the first fifteen presidents, I breezed through them all just by remembering the cute cartoons and pictures. I highly recommend this book to anyone and everyone! It also contains great information about the presidents and their administrations. I used it middle school, I'm using it in high school, and I'm sure it will be useful through out my continuing education.

Summary: It works!
Review: My 10 year old sister was given this book as a gift. I'm pretty good at history, so I thought learning all the presidents in order would be really cool. I read the book for 20 or 30 minutes, took the quizes, and by the time I was done I could name all the presidents in order, and backwords. The book also gives you clues to help remember the 5,10,15,20,25,30,35, and 40th presidents.

Summary: The Rumors Are True
Review: My mom bought me this book when I was in 2nd or 3rd grade. I read the whole thing through in an hour or so, and I immediately had all the presidents memorized. When I was in 6th grade, one of the book's authors, Will Cleveland I think, came to my school. To start off his speech he asked if anyone knew who the 14th president of the United States was. I was the only one in the audience to raise my hand, and after I said the answer (Pierce), I told Mr. Cleveland I had read his book. He said I was proof that the book really works, and he was right. I am now in 10th grade, and can still name all of the presidents in order, along with all of the helpful clues in the books. I just passed Yo, Millard Fillmore! down to my 11 year-old sister, and it's working so far for her too. Long story short: this book works!!!!!

Summary: M Squared!
Review: The creators of this Mnemonic Masterpiece should be cheered for!
My boys love it and they both (Ages 6 and 10) know the whole book by heart! And, just privately, I learned them too. It is a tremendously powerful learning tool that I wholeheartedly recommend to any and all who wish to make learning fun.
Good On Ya!

Review: Wonderful, silly book which will teach you the U.S. Presidents, in order, in 30 minutes. The book has a story which incorporates word associations for every president as well as some quizzes to help you memorize them. Also, has a short biography on every president. Great book for all ages.
