George Washington

by Rod Espinosa Narrated by Robert Rance

Overview

Graphic novels aren't just for superheroes! George Washington has been plucked from history books and his life and accomplishments have been depicted in informative nonfiction graphic novels. The subject's birth, childhood, education, and presidency have been skillfully told with detailed art. Further reading lists, timelines, glossaries, and indexes make these titles useful in classroom discussion.

Editorial Reviews

School Library Journal

Gr 3-5 -The graphic-novel format does nothing to bring these heroes to life or make them interesting to children. The books are certainly more accessible than most standard nonfiction titles, but the art is stiff, the colors are bland, and the fictionalized dialogue is stilted. Youngsters can eke out some facts for reports, but these titles wona't be picked up for fun.-Lisa Goldstein, Brooklyn Public Library, NY
