Who Was George Washington? 誰是喬治·華盛頓 [平裝] [8歲及以上] pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2025
"Taking youngsters beyond the cherry tree and wooden teeth myths, this well-written chapter book explores the life of America's first president. The biography, part of an excellent list of books for young readers called the "Who Is?" series, traces George Washington's life and times. Moving chronologically from his birth to his death, the author weaves Washington's days with notable and lesser known anecdotes to paint a complete picture of the family and environment that shaped the future leader. Born in Virginia to Mary and Gus Washington, the baby who would be president was the oldest of five children. He would grow up with a passion for farming and horses. Owning a sense of adventure, he took a job as a surveyor, learning every inch of Virginia and the lands to the west. It was a skill that would serve him well as life quickly took him to the military. Readers begin to discover aspects of Washington's personality and work habits, his relationships and goals, taking the man from a cut out on a school bulletin board to one who still has something to teach young Americans today. Simple black-and-white drawings punctuate nearly every page to add information and further explanation. The chapters are interrupted occasionally with illustrated information boxes that contain more clarification about difficult concepts of history—slavery, Tories, or the Boston Tea Party. Maps give perspective to the layout of Mount Vernon and various battles. Yet, with all this information, the book flows like a very good story, which of course, it is. The celebration of Washington's admirable character influences each section, from his youth and military record, to his contributions to the foundation ofthe United States, and of course his reluctant acceptance of the presidency. It was Washington, in his humility, the author explains, who rejected titles such as "His Mightiness" and "His Elective Highness" and insisted that he be called simply "Mr. President." While nicely comprehensive, the book stays on target with vocabulary and details for elementary readers. "
