George, Thomas, and Abe!

The Step into Reading Presidents Story Collection

Frank Murphy and Martha Brenner and Richard Walz and Donald Cook

Grades K–3
Ages 5–8

This collection features three of our most popular biographies: Washington, the stoic general with a soft spot for animals; Jefferson, the brilliant statesman who was a foodie at heart, and Lincoln, the absentminded lawyer whose compassionate caseload foretold his presidency. Beginning readers will learn about little-known, illuminating events in the earlier years of these extraordinary men and how, long before entering the White House, they lived lives filled with intelligence, courage, and kindness—the hallmarks of a great president.
