Kathryn Gibbs Davis

Scholastic Press, 2004

Wonderful way to introduce kids to history

+ FOR ANIMAL LOVERS OF ALL AGES - TWO PAWS UP!!!
+ neat book

My 5 year-old daughter, an animal lover, really enjoyed the way we talked about history through the idea of White House pets. At the very least, it helped her identify the names of some ex-presidents. I like how the book gives a bit of a background on all presidents at the end.
