Average Ratings:

Of mixed race and cultures, Barack Obama struggled for years with his identity and place in society. Having found his niche in public service, he has made history as the fifth African American U.S. senator ever to be elected. Now “the skinny kid” continues his political journey and strives to become the nation’s first black president. From Hawaii to Chicago to Washington, D.C., Senator Obama’s life has been interesting and inspiring.

Summary: outstanding Book
Comment: I bought this book because i wanted to learn a bit about Obana, since he was running for president.
When it came i was amazed that it was written at a level
children could understand.
I was so impressed with the book that i ordered one for each of my Great Grandchildren. My Grandchildren have enjoyed it as well. It is easy reading and gives anyone a good sense of his life.
I believe it showes children ( or adults) that no matter where you come from, or how poor you are if you really want to do something ,and work at it , you will succeed.

Summary: Disappoint meet in book
Comment: Barrack Obama - An American Story.
I was very dissappointed in this book. It was written for children. I wish there had been a better explanation on the type of book this was, I would not have wasted my money on it.

Summary: What I think about Obama
Comment: Some may say that racism is my problem, but think again.
If Barak Obama was not so liberal, but rather a conservative, who wanted to put prayer and christianity back in schools, and out law homosexuality everywhere, outlaw abortion, and not be the communist that he is, I would most certainly vote for him. It's not the color of his skin that bothers me but the fact that he is a major communist who will lead our nation straight into the pits of hell!

Customer Rating:
Summary: A great introduction to Barack Obama for older children.
Comment: By older children, I mean the 6-8 crowd of the recommended ages 4-8. I think parts of this book are too advanced for even some kindergarteners, but it has great pictures and definitely enough information for an adult to paraphrase for the 4-5 year old child.

I bought this for my preschool to introduce the children to voting and presidents for upcoming election day. I won't be able to use this whole book verbetim, but definitely will use parts and paraphrase. I do think that a 1st grader will be able to understand it with an adult there to answer questions. Probably perfectly targeted towards the 2-3rd graders, not just for the language used, but for the concepts presented as well.

Summary: Good Children's Biography
Comment: This is a good children's biography of Barack Obama. Most facts seem to be taken from his autobiographies. It contains good information and is great for kids.
