This made for timely reading on Presidents’ Day. The book covers George Washington’s early years all the way to his death, so with that much to convey, the author chose only a select few specifics and many more generalities to convey how Washington’s attitude helped him in his life.

Read with my 8yo son. Great way to learn about George Washington with elementary school aged kids.

A great way for children to learn more about George Washington and to learn about having a good attitude at the same time.
