This is a great book for President's day weekend. I love the little factoids and mythtoids - in the boxes. It is hard for kids to imagine what life was like 200+ years ago. One thing that kids could relate to today was that back then there were no schools and students were learning at home or at the neighbors house - if they were learning at all.

An interesting way of talking about George Washington - both the truth and myths.
