Thomas Jefferson (Presidential Leaders)

Rating:
Summary: This is no dry history book!
Review: Sadly, as a rule, I have no great interest in history. But Ms. Behrman's approach brings the person of Thomas Jefferson to life in a way that appeals to all ages. She puts personality and emotion into her writing which makes potentially dull facts, dates and events brim with energy. This is a wonderful series and she does it justice in every way.

Summary: A winning presidential biography
Review: This is another winning presidential biography, the third by this author. Like her earlier books about John Adams and Andrew Jackson, this one about our third president is a great read not just for kids, but for adults as well. Thomas Jefferson's life, both private and public, is presented in a clear and graceful style. The man who writings and thoughts formed the basis of our democratic republic becomes vivid and real in this telling as does the turbulent era in which he lived. The book's attractive design and pictures add to the pleasure of reading it.
