Cooper, Ilene. (2003) Jack: The Early Years of John F. Kennedy. New York: Dutton Children's Books.

This book goes into extensive details about the early years of John F. Kennedy. There are 12 chapters that have a lot of details and family photographs and details about the family as well. This book does not focus on his life as a president and it only spends about 2 pages discussing his life as a president and his assassination. The author of this book is an award winning non-fiction writer. It is geared towards upper elementary school student. ( )

I would use this book for my upper grades 5-6 for introducing JFK as our president as well as to go into how he was assasinated. ( )
