In this candid and gripping account, President George W. Bush describes the critical decisions that shaped his presidency and personal life.
George W. Bush served as president of the United States during eight of the most consequential years in American history. The decisions that reached his desk impacted people around the world and defined the times in which we live.Decision Points brings readers inside the Texas governor's mansion on the night of the 2000 election, aboard Air Force One during the harrowing hours after the attacks of September 11, 2001, into the Situation Room moments before the start of the war in Iraq, and behind the scenes at the White House for many other historic presidential decisions. For the first time, we learn President Bush's perspective and insights on: His decision to quit drinking and the journey that led him to his Christian faith The selection of the vice president, secretary of defense, secretary of state, Supreme Court justices, and other key officials His relationships with his wife, daughters, and parents, including heartfelt letters between the president and his father on the eve of the Iraq War His administration's counterterrorism programs, including the CIA's enhanced interrogations and the Terrorist Surveillance Program Why the worst moment of the presidency was hearing accusations that race played a role in the federal government's response to Hurricane Katrina, and a critical assessment of what he would have done differently during the crisis His deep concern that Iraq could turn into a defeat costlier than Vietnam, and how he decided to defy public opinion by ordering the troop surge His legislative achievements, including tax cuts and reforming education and Medicare, as well as his setbacks, including Social Security and immigration reform The relationships he forged with other world leaders, including an honest assessment of those he did and didn't trust Why the failure to bring Osama bin Laden to justice ranks as his biggest disappointment and why his success in denying the terrorists their fondest wish--attacking America again--is among his proudest achievements A groundbreaking new brand of presidential memoir, Decision Points will captivate supporters, surprise critics, and change perspectives on eight remarkable years in American history--and on the man at the center of events.

Great way to support summer learning!
Format: Paperback
I absolutely love the Summer Bridge Activities: Bridging Grades 3–4! This workbook is a fantastic way to keep kids engaged and learning over the summer break. The activities are well-designed, fun, and educational, providing the perfect balance between reinforcing what they’ve already learned and getting them excited for the next school year. The layout is visually appealing, with colorful pages and interactive exercises that make learning feel like play.
What I appreciate most is how it covers key subjects like math, reading, writing, and critical thinking skills in bite-sized chunks that kids can easily manage. My child enjoyed doing a little bit each day, and I noticed significant improvement in their confidence as they completed each activity. It's great that this workbook also includes helpful tips for parents to guide their kids through the exercises.
Overall, this is a must-have resource for parents looking to keep their children sharp and engaged during the summer while still having fun. Highly recommend!

Great for growing minds!
I love these workbooks! We used to buy these at a local store until it closed. They help kids retain what they learned in school over the summer. The worksheet usually takes 5-10 minutes a day.

Excellent Summer Resource for Kids!
Format: Paperback
I purchased the "Summer Bridge Activities 2nd to 3rd Grade Workbook" for my 8-year-old, and it has exceeded my expectations in every way. This comprehensive workbook is a fantastic tool to keep children engaged and learning during the summer break. My sibling is an elementary school teacher and introduced me to these books when my son was in Kindergarten and I honestly have not looked back. My LO loved a good challenge so we typically do multiple days to ensure we finish it in its entirety during the summer. I'm constantly recommending these books every summer as I have not yet found anything to replace it.
Content Quality:
The workbook covers all essential subjects: math, reading comprehension, writing, science, social studies, and even fitness. Each section is well-organized and filled with age-appropriate activities that challenge and entertain. The variety of exercises ensures that my child doesn't get bored, and the progressive difficulty helps build confidence.
Educational Value:
The math and reading comprehension sections are particularly strong, with clear explanations and plenty of practice problems. The writing prompts encourage creativity and critical thinking, while the science and social studies sections introduce interesting facts and concepts. I appreciate the inclusion of fitness activities, promoting a healthy lifestyle alongside academic learning.
Flash Cards:
The included flash cards are a wonderful bonus. They are durable, colorful, and perfect for quick review sessions. My child enjoys using them, and they make reinforcing concepts fun and interactive.
Ease of Use:
The workbook is user-friendly with clear instructions for both parents and kids. It's designed to be self-paced, which means my child can work independently or with minimal guidance. The answer key at the back is helpful for quick checks.
Engagement:
What sets this workbook apart is its ability to make learning enjoyable. The activities are engaging, and the themes are relevant and interesting. My child looks forward to workbook time each day, which is a huge win for any parent trying to prevent the summer slide.
Overall, the "Summer Bridge Activities 2nd to 3rd Grade Workbook" is an excellent investment in your child's education. It's thorough, fun, and well-designed to keep young minds sharp over the summer. I highly recommend it to any parent looking to provide a balanced and enriching educational experience during the school break.

Good quality for price
Format: Paperback
This was a good book for the summer. It has a variety of activities so my child didn't get bored. It also has some fun "outside" only ideas to get them up and moving. It was a good bridge book that she could (mostly) do independently. However, as they progress through it, parents should be there to help and reiterate different concepts. It was well worth the price and helped the transition go smoothly.
