YO, MILLARD FILLMORE! uses amazingly effective linking techniques based on outlandish images to let kids (& adults, too!) recall all 42 presidents in order - after only 20 enjoyable minutes. With its engaging tone, & looney images, it captivates children, & before they know it, they're familiar with the Presidents of the United States from Washington to Clinton. Also included are short biographies of each Chief Executive, emphasizing offbeat or little-known aspects of his life or career. Because it's challenging, fun & effective, YO, MILLARD FILLMORE! stimulates interest not just in the Presidents but in American history, government & politics. It also pumps up confidence by showing kids that they can master something pretty impressive--remembering all these once--important old fellows, who their parents & teachers probably can't themselves keep straight. But the book doesn't only work for kids. It will do the trick for grown-ups, too--if they're smart enough. Read through it & in twenty minutes you'll know all the Presidents. You'll never forget them. And you'll know--forever--which Presidents came before & after each other, without reciting the whole list to yourself. A great gift.Cleveland, Will is the author of 'Yo! Millard Fillmore!: And All Those Other Presidents You Never Heard Of', published 1993 under ISBN 9780963277817 and ISBN 0963277812.
