From School Library Journal:

Grade 5-8 - These slim volumes offer good information and good reading. Writing in an engaging and lively fashion, the authors draw readers into the lives and times of the subjects and incorporate quotes and photographs as well as informative sidebars to bring the men to life. Anderson paints a portrait of a young and energetic Kennedy. The story of his heroism during World War II and the problems he faced as president are described. Ruth seeks to dispel the notion that Herbert Hoover was a cold, heartless leader, unable to feel people's pain. Focusing on the positive, she provides readers with insight into Hoover's genius in organization, his humanitarianism, and his devotion to individualism. Black-and-white photographs are included in both books. Solid choices for reports and leisure reading. - Lana Miles, Duchesne Academy, Houston, TX
