Now the littlest readers can learn about the White House--how it came
to be, and what it's like to live there!
In this engaging Little Golden Book, preschoolers will enjoy fascinating
stories about the White House and some of the presidents, First
Families, and even First Pets who have lived there. Simple words and
bright artwork bring to life the story of how the White House came to
be, and how it has changed over time.
Little ones will learn that George Washington himself chose the building
site, and that nearly every president has left his mark--from Thomas
Jefferson's introduction of "water closets"--early toilets!--to Michelle
Obama's vegetable garden. And kids will gain a clear understanding of
the role the White House plays in American life and culture. Fun
anecdotes about the rowdy Roosevelt children riding metal trays down the
staircase, the annual Easter Egg Roll, and how the White House once kept
cows for milk complete this charming nonfiction Little Golden Book.
