There’s a lot kids can learn from Reagan, about our country and about being good leaders and good people. <br /><br /><i>The Remarkable Ronald Reagan: Cowboy and Commander in Chief</i> is a fun, colorful look at his life, from his humble beginnings as the son of a shoe salesman, to his years as a Hollywood actor, his service in WWII, his life as a rancher, and finally the culmination of his political career in the Oval Office. Ronald Reagan is an ideal role model, not only as a leader and former president, but also as a shining example of self-sacrifice and determination. <i>The Remarkable Ronald Reagan</i> is a treat for the entire family. </blockquote><a href="http://tlcbooktours.com/2013/05/susan-allen-author-of-the-remarkable-ronald-reagan-on-tour-june-2013/">TLC Book Tours</a> offered more in its assessment of the book:<br /><blockquote><i>The Remarkable Ronald Reagan</i> is a wonderful new children's book about our great president and his big dreams in life and his great accomplishments as our Nation's leader....Written for elementary students, adults will also enjoy the walk down memory lane with Reagan -- and everyone will learn something new about this remarkable man!
