Review Quotes:
" The Story of Thomas Jefferson tells young people of a time and place of which they may have already heard. L. Trusiani, however, offers a more honest, accurate rendering than most other texts. The book's dedication to truth reflects the commitment it makes to educating youth about one of our country's most influential founding fathers. With a complete and clear glossary, a fun comprehension review quiz, and thought-provoking 'think tank/ ideas, engaged readers will soak up this book and finally be told the whole story." --Jennifer Meserve, First Grade Teacher
