Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
John Adams
Muriel L. Dubois · 2003
60/100
👎 Skip It
Dubois's photo-illustrated series gave elementary classrooms a reliable, curriculum-aligned entry point to the founding presidents, and John Adams is handled competently here. The format is very short and the photography-plus-accessible-prose approach serves its purpose without distinction. For its narrow curricular niche this is fine; there is simply not much here beyond that.
