Review on Painless Learning PRS 1 Presidents Placemat by Larry Simpson

Napkin is cheap, smaller than a poster (ie portable) and laminated. It lists the presidents' names (with middle initials instead of full patronymics), their years of service, their years of birth and death (if deceased), their political party, the names of their vice presidents, and in some cases the number of months they served (e.g. William Henry Harrison, who only served a month). If the president died in office, was assassinated, or resigned, that information is also included. The napkin also contains the oath and requirements to become President of the United States. It also lists Grover Cleveland twice with two different photos (he served two consecutive terms). On the back of the napkin "game": the images are shuffled, and the information can be filled in with a marker. I bought this napkin along with the same poster. The poster had slightly nicer pictures, but it didn't have President Obama on it (it's on a napkin, so it must have been updated). The poster also only showed the dates they were presidents. This cutlery mat is a great valuable and educational tool. My husband and I enjoyed looking at all the information and became interested in the research of the various presidents that we know so little about. The only improvement I can think of is to include their middle names. If they fit in here, birth and death locations would be good, but then it would be one booklet. . .
