(4) K-3 Illustrated by Daniel Powers. This picture book biography of a young George Washington traces some of the events that shaped the future president, especially his surveying experience in the wilderness at the age of sixteen, which readied him for new challenges. St. George sometimes fictionalizes Washington's thoughts for dramatic effect, but the text is lively and engaging; Powers's stylized illustrations are somewhat stiff. Bib.
