Who Was Thomas Jefferson?

I love these books for quick information about the subject matter, great for all ages, perfect for school projects, tutoring and homeschool or just the history buff! Enough information is contained to satisfy the reader while also encouraging them to go further & research more on the subject matter! I purchase them often for elementary, middle & high school age! Well worth it!

This item is amazing and great. This is a great value for what you get. 5 star hands down and highly recommended. This is a must have for yourself or as a gift.

My 5th grader had to do a book repertoire on Thomas Jefferson. It is a good book for kids with some detailed pictures. I would have had to buy for this project anyways. It was sealed and brand new, had no foul language in it and my son got an A on his report, Will use the same publisher again if he needs to.

In my opinion, Jefferson was probably the most accomplished of all our early Presidents. Once you read of his varied interest, his worldly reputation, and the areas of enlightenment he brought to the early American forefront, you will better understand his importance to the early development of the United States as a world power. History best remembers Jefferson as the author of The Declaration of Independence, a governor of Virginia Colony, minister to France. Secretary of State in Washington's first administration, vice-president to John Adams, and finally our 3rd President. All of the above are mileposts in his accomplishments but the true interest lies in the details. Jefferson opened up the White House to members of congress including friends as well as foes. He was interactive with truly the great men of the early revolution. Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, John Hancock, James Madison, John Monroe and many more founding fathers, He initiated the Louisiana Purchase, the Lewis and Clark Expedition, and finally he retired to his home at Monticello. He founded, along with James Madison The University in Virginia. Jefferson loved the arts. He played the violin and loved to dance. He read the classics with great appetite.. Architecture was his love and many of the plants at Monticello today were planted by Jefferson many decades ago. He was very learned and serious in his endeavors. He died on the 50th anniversary of the Signing Of The Declaration Of Independence. Fittingly enough he died on July 4th.

This book was really good. It will fill me with more knowledge than needed. Or I’ll just forget this book in a week or two. One thing to note, the book mentions rape between Jefferson and Sally Hemings (slave). There is doubt to this claim.

Great kids history - well written and good illustrations.

It’s and easy read. Great resource book for writing papers on Thomas Jefferson. Enjoyed reading this book and so did my son.

Great book for kids! I got this book for my local children's library from their wish list. The kids are excited to read.
