Great illustrations and a very accessible telling of the important events in the life of young George Washington, leading to his growing up to become the Commander of the American Revolutionary Army, and the first President of the United States. Makes George an interestng person, and young readers and listeners will remember his story of service and patriotism. A rare readable book that can be used for Presidents' Day and on other special occasions.
