Graphic novels are incredibly popular with kids today and the latest and greatest is from the new book series Action Presidents! Within these comic strips all the history facts are real….but the jokes are fake. That makes this combo unique, entertaining and educational! Action Presidents #1: George Washington! and Action Presidents #2: Abraham Lincoln! will get even reluctant readers turning pages!
The first Action Presidents book will turn even the most reluctant reader into a history buff. George Washington, ultimate founding father and awesome American, practically jumps off the page.
We all know that George Washington was our first president and a hero of the American Revolution, but did you also know that he didn?t want to be president and had teeth so bad that he hated to smile?

The second Action Presidents book is just as fun?and funny?as the first. Legendary lumberjack and paramount president Abraham Lincoln practically jumps off the page.

These book are great for kids ages 8-12. Middle grade readers are able to read chapter books but I often find they still enjoy books with pictures so graphic novels like these are a perfect way to get them reading. Big Sis at 9 has recently started reading graphic novels and she won’t put them down! I even caught her reading in our swing set fort in the backyard the other day….devouring a graphic novel. She is not normally one to read history books but she LOVES these. She has already read them each….TWICE…and is asking when the next one comes out. Looks like it will be Theodore Roosevelt. The Action Presidents book series makes reading about history something that kids actually want to do!
