Who Was George Washington? 谁是乔治·华盛顿 [平装] [8岁及以上] pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载
"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. "

评分收到及时
评分美国总统乔治华盛顿,第一任总统
评分原版的书原价太贵了,只有搞活动的时候,力度大的时候慢慢的收。
评分不错的原版书,二百减六十买的,给同事的孩子们作为新年的小礼物。图文并茂,内容浅显,适合孩子们阅读。
评分我为什么喜欢在京东买东西,因为今天买明天就可以送到。我为什么每个商品的评价都一样,因为在京东买的东西太多太多了,导致积累了很多未评价的订单,所以我统一用段话作为评价内容。京东购物这么久,有买到很好的产品,也有买到比较坑的产品,如果我用这段话来评价,说明这款产品没问题,至少85分以上,而比较垃圾的产品,我绝对不会偷懒到复制粘贴评价,我绝对会用心的差评,这样其他消费者在购买的时候会作为参考,会影响该商品销量,而商家也会因此改进商品质量。
评分希望有用,第一次尝试买这套练习题
