Summary: Thomas Jefferson: Our Third President is a biography for children. It is a well writen book with a lot of information about Jefferson's life from birth to death, not just his years as president. There are vocabulary words in bold, with a glossary in the back of the book. Also, at the end of the book there is an easy to follow time line of Jefferson's life as well as tidbits about the White House and the presidency in general. My favorite thing about the book is the amount of photographs. It is very beautifully done.
