Parents may want to be ready to provide context for 18th and 19th-century presidents regarding the different social norms and challenges of those eras. A parent might see their child struggling to understand the order of historical events or hear them ask, 'Who was the president when you were born?' or 'Who was the very first leader?'
Younger children (age 6-7) will focus on the pictures and the names, treating it like a catalog of famous people. Older children (age 9-10) will begin to notice the dates and the length of terms, connecting the names to broader historical eras they are learning about in school.
Unlike narrative biographies that focus on one person, this book offers a bird's-eye view of the entire history of the office, making it a superior 'quick-glance' reference tool for the elementary level.
