This set of 3-1/8 X 5-1/4 inch flash cards is like having a presidential history book that fits in your pocket, with lots of fun thrown in for good measure. In addition to 44 President Cards, there are 12 special cards, some with presidential trivia games to play, others with concise, essential information on key historical events and periods all the way from the birth of our nation to the present. Each President Card displays on one side the name and portrait of a particular president, years of birth and death (unless living), and number in the order of presidents. The flipside includes exact dates of birth and death, number of terms served, party affiliation, birthplace, college education, and the names of the first lady and vice president. Beneath that appears a list of interesting facts pertaining to that president. Both sides are organized in a way that makes information accessible at a glance. The extremely attractive portrait side displays official White House Historical Association Portraits of each of the 44 presidents. There's something fun and exciting about just fanning through these giants of U.S. history. The games and activities included are fast-moving, fun, and, of course, highly educational.
