Reviews

[Jerry (Rebel With a Massive Media Library)]

An interesting, if short, look at the history of one of the most famous American buildings.

[Memory Toast]

The book is from 10 years ago, so missing information about Presidents who lived in the lifetimes of my students, but overall superbly written. A great balance of simple wording, interesting info, and engaging text features, that didn't over do it.

[Melissa Hamm]

A little behind for current times but still was a enjoyable read. A great place for kids to start with learning history of the U.S.
