Atlas of the Presidents....a must for children

I purchased this book in the early 1980's, thus the last President mentioned is Ronald Reagan. The text is appropriate for children, comprehensive but not overly so. What makes Atlas of the Presidents special to me is the Electoral College map of each Presidential election. It breaks out which state voted for whom and which candidate had support in certain areas of the country. Although each Electoral College map of the country is given small attention in the book, they all reflect the historical attitudes of our nation. As the back of the book, it contains a table showing comparative data of each President, and John Kennedy advice to young people seeking the Presidency in the future.
