Accessible!
Bill O’ Reilly’s book entitled Kennedy’s Last Days is easily accessible for middle school
readers. It gives a brief history of the Kennedy family, but the majority of
the book details the 1,036 days of his Presidency.
It is chilling to see the cover of the book. There is a photo
of John Kennedy seated beside his wife Jackie as their motorcade winds its way
down a street in Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1963. The next moment, a sniper’s
bullet hits John Kennedy delivering a fatal blow. The assassin is Lee Harvey
Oswald.
Filled with archival photos of John and Jackie Kennedy and
their children Caroline and John, the text is easy to follow providing just
enough detail without confusing the reader.
Students who desire more information can follow the reading
of this book with Killing Kennedy, also
by Bill O’Reilly. Killing Kennedy was
written for an adult audience but motivated readers can easily follow it.
