This is one of five Parents’ Choice Recommended CDs containing Living Adventures from American History. The Life and Times
of George Washington: Part 1 is one of three one hour audio books for slightly older
children. These three CDs tell the story of the American hero and founding
father, George Washington, from his modest beginnings through his efforts in the fight for America during the American Revolution to his part in creating The United States of America. For the full story of this great American, I recommend listening to all three CDs. The Life and Times of George Washington: Part 1 looks at the founding father’s early years. This story tells a little about George Washington’s life before and after his father’s death and gives a little insight into what drove the man to succeed. This CD also describes Washington’s early military career and how he went from being in the militia and working with the British against the French to fighting the British in the American Revolution.
