  1. *****I loved it
    I love all the poems in this book. At first I didn't know anything about the president after I read some of the poems I kind of learned something in this book. I think this is a fun way to learn some history about our presidents.

  2. ****Great! This book has poems about all of our presidents. Which one is your favorite? Which president died one month into office from pneumonia? Which president served 2 nonconsecutive terms? Which president got stuck in the bath? Which president was forced to resign? Tell me about your favorite poem/president from the book.

    I liked the poem about Lyndon B. Johnson. He gave money to music, theater, and art. He was a Texan.

  4. **Okay. I have read many Marilyn Singer poetry books, but this is my least favorite. History is not my favorite subject. However, she was brilliant in finding so many rhyming words. I didn't know that we had a president, William Harrison, that was only in office for a month. If you like learning about presidents, this might be for you.

    I liked the poems, especially the ones where it is as if they are talking to each other. The book was interesting but I do not seem to enjoy picture books anymore. I also agree with Mrs.Vento, I am not a big fan of history.

    This book has such good poems. It's like a fun way to learn about your presidents. I agree with Haylee and Mrs. Vento, I am not someone who enjoys history. This book is a great way to learn about our presidents.

    Some of the poems were good. I mainly liked it because it was an easy read.The reason why i didn't really it was because I am not really a history person.I would recommend this book to somebody who likes history and learning about our presidents.

  12. My favorite part was when It showed when the white house was on fire and they had boats with cannons on them.The book tells you if they were good presidents or bad president. I thought Ronald Reagan was a bad president I thought people did not like him.

  16. ***Good.
    I loved how they use famous quotes from the presidents.Like Abraham lincolns was
    "I am a slow walker, but I never walk back." But still some of the poems are sad like James A. Garfield died right after he was elected. My favorite president and poem are Abraham Lincolns.
