Presidente/President Barack Obama

It’s an adequate, though limited biography of President Obama, designed for early readers, presented in both English and Spanish, illustrated with photos from the president’s life.  Along the bottom of each page, a timeline grows throughout the book, with new dates/events added to accompany the text.  But as a teaching tool, the timeline failed to represent the passage of time with distance along the line:  all dates were evenly spaced regardless of whether they represented a 4-year or a 7-year gap, and some important events described in the text were left off of the timeline, leaving me as a reader wondering why.
