Horn Book Review

Each volume contains a time line showing significant events of the era, followed by inadequate historical vignettes about each presidency from Washington to Clinton. Though the prose is bland and the presentation is choppy, the books are redeemed by fascinating illustrations from the Library of Congress collections, including black-and-white and color photographs, campaign posters, paintings, and cartoons.
