Why read it?
1 author picked The Founding Fathers! as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Winter, one of my favorite nonfiction authors, has written a witty, bracingly honest reference book about the smart, talented men who founded our nation (four became presidents). I like how the data about each one adds up to an interesting character sketch (a few details about James Madison: he weighed 100 pounds, enjoyed chess and horseback riding, and owned 108 human slaves, although he professed to be anti-slavery).
Young readers will come away with the understanding that our founders were not saints—they were imperfect human beings capable of greatness and weakness.
From Michelle's list on children’s books about the U.S. presidency.
