Summary: GREAT BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: After reading the book, George Bush, it left me knowing things I never knew about George Bush. The book gave me a lot of facts I didn't know about him. Even though the book isn't up to date it still gave me a lot of background information about him. This book is a good background book for me. Now I know a lot of information about George Bush. So if I go and read another George Bush book I know a lot of things about him. George Bush still is an outstanding person. If anyone wanted to read a book on George Bush it should be this one by George Sullivan. Many people may not get the same reactions to this book as I did. But it is a really enjoyable book.

Summary: A juvenile biography of George Bush that should be updated
Review: George Sullivan's juvenile biography of George Bush ends the morning after his inauguration as the nation's 41st President, so the focus is more on the man than on his presidency. Published in 1989 this book begins by outlining Bush's goals as President and a chapter on "Vital Statistics," which tells us "some things to know" about Bush. I actually liked this different approach, of establishing the character of the man before proceeding into the biographical details, which should help young readers make the connection between what happens in a person's life and the sort of person they become. Although this book does not cover the Bush presidency, it is an excellent biography for older students to use to find out about the path to the White House for the first member of the Bush family to hold that office. Too bad Sullivan never authored an updated version of this biography after Bush was defeated in 1992, because his writing style and attention to detail make this one of the better Bush biographies for young adults, even without covering the White House years. Final Note: The book is illustrated with black & white photographs as well as reproduction of yearbook entries on Bush.
