McNamara, Margaret. Blitt, Barry. George Washington’s Birthday: A Mostly True Tale, 40 pgs. Schwartz & Wade, 2012. $17.99.
Inside cover: “When George Washington woke up on Saturday, he was seven. It’s my birthday, he thought. Happy Birthday to me. But everyone in his family was so busy they didn’t even notice. Would anyone ever remember George’s birthday? Full of facts about the first president-as well as many myths, debunked!- this is a partly true and completely funny birthday celebration.”
We loved this book! The illustrations are fun and exciting. Each page has either a myth or fact about George Washington. The storyline is fun to read. This book could be used in a unit on celebrating President’s Day.
Pre-K, EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE. Reviewer: SL.
