The man who saved the lives of his PT-109 crewmen during WWII and became the 35th president fought-and won-his first battle at the age of two-and-a-half, when he was stricken with scarlet fever. Although his presidency was cut short, our nation's youngest elected leader left an indelible mark on the American consciousness and now is profiled in our Who Was...? series. Included are 100 black-and-white illustrations as well as a timeline that guides readers through this eventful period in history. Review: Great books - Great books Review: Great learning! - I bought this for my son after he was asking for several weeks about this book. He is in 2nd grade and loves to read through it several times a day! It teaches the kids so much in their own words about our old president. It’s very educational and fun to read!

A great book and a great way for your student to learn about a past president.
My fourth grader needed to research a past president and her teacher assigned JFK to her. We found this book online and she read it over a weekend. It was easy to read and she was able to retain the information easier than just looking at facts on the internet. She truly felt she knew about JFK and now she wants to know more about Jackie. Apparently she was a fashion icon and so that was all it took for my daughter. What a great way to learn history and to learn about a president that was frozen in time at the prime of his life due to his premature death. Highly recommended for your student.

Kennedy" is great for his reading level
I am a home-teacher working with an autistic, slow-learner, adult student who is Chinese. My student is is interested in John F. Kennedy, and we have read simple little stories about him. "Who Was john F. Kennedy" is great for his reading level, and he enjoys reading about Kennedy, but for my student (autistic), the format for the book is not really conducive to reading smoothness. For "normal" children the book would be fine, but for my student, the change in format has proven to be a little disruptive. After a random series of pages, the author inserts a page of supportive text, which to most children would give interesting tidbits of information, but to my student, for a moment or two, he loses continuity of the story line. This book would probably be fine with "normal" children, but for autistic kids, it is not quite as satisfactory.

Easy to read
My 4th grade son needed this book for a book report and JFK project. The book was easy to read and informative. He was able to read the book and do the report all by himself. In case you are wondering, he got an A+!

Great informational book on JFK!
Our family used this book for a school project with our PRE-K students. We enjoyed the content in the book but it was a little above their level. This book would be great and informational for slightly older kids who need to learn about presidents for school or just personal interest!

True American hero
The author really captures the personality of JFK and what he did for the United States. I highly recommend this book.

An excellent read!
This was a very quick and compelling read both for our son and us as parents. We would have liked a few more photographs rather than line drawings, but the quality of the book has inspired us to look at others in the series.

最初に読んだWho wasシリーズ
John.F.Kennedyが好きで、まず最初にこの本を手に取りました。 私は英検2級を持っていますが、辞書をほぼ引かずに読めました。文法は簡単です。 ポイントは語彙力だと思います。ただkindleは英和辞書が付いているので英語力が中学レベルでも十分理解できると思います。 Who wasシリーズは簡単に読める偉人の伝記です。英語の勉強にもなるし、偉人達について知ることが 出来るのでとてもオススメです。まずは興味のある偉人から読んでいくのが良いと思います。
