JFK is a picture about John Fitzgerald Kennedy, often referred to by his initials JFK, who was an American politician who served as the 35th president of the United States. It begins with the author’s experience of seeing him while JFK was President. It then mentions JFK’s assassination, and finally takes the reader to the start of JFK’s life and upbringing. It is very informational and contains a lot of interesting and informative facts.

JFK is a great way for a child to read and understand more about John Fitzgerald Kennedy. It reads in a way that would interest a young reader, using words and terms appropriate for an upper elementary school reader’s level. It would be an excellent way for a child to learn about JFK without getting too overwhelmed with difficult words, talk of policies, politics, etc.
