                                                           So You Want to be President

     This is a great book to provide young readers with some facts about the United States presidents. It does a lot of comparing and contrasting, between the presidents, to show the readers that anyone really could be president. I also like that at the end of the book, St. George includes more facts about each president. The way it is written is like traditional picture books, however this one is non-fiction. The illustrations create a sense of humor to facts. They are bright, colorful, and almost like cartoons. 
     The author of this book includes a bibliography at the end, with credible sources. Since this book was published, there have been two new presidents. The last president this book includes is Bill Clinton. This would make the book out of date. More contrasts and comparisons could be made.
