This charming presidential family tell all is a well told true story about various presidential families 1789 G. Washington-2004 GW Bush. Book contains map of the White House, Ask the President pages which are real questions asked of the presidents. Very interesting quotes. Book presents facts in humorous tid bits with fun cartoon style illustrations. Faces are presented in caricature style art. I could use this book to teach humor, illustrations, presidents, biography skills, social studies topics, map representation, writers craft, etc. . . Grades 3+ ( ) This information book tells about when the White House was built, and what each president did to the White House as well as whether they liked it. Fun facts about some of the presidents and their families are included. I really liked this book, it is very interesting. I enjoyed the family facts about the presidents and also the different things that the presidents or first ladies did to the White House. The book is very esthetically appealing and would keep the interest of children. Although it wouldn’t necessarily be used for research, it does tell the history of the White House. 1.) Have children write a paper about what they would add or change about the White House if they became president and why. 2.) As a class research what the current president is doing to the White House, and discuss how this will affect the future of the White House. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

In case you've ever wondered, the walls at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue have eyes and ears -- and, what's more, they don't miss a thing. Now, listen up because the walls have a thing or two to tell you! During President John Tyler's presidency, the White House was such a mess that it was called the "Public Shabby House." President William Howard Taft was so large that he had to have a jumbo-size bathtub installed -- one big enough for four people. President Andrew Jackson's "open door" policy at the White House resulted in 20,000 people showing up for his inauguration party. (The new president escaped to the quiet of a nearby hotel!) President Abraham Lincoln didn't mind at all that his younger sons, Tad and Willie, kept pet goats in their White House bedrooms. Children all across the country sent in their own money to build an indoor swimming pool for wheelchair-bound President Franklin D. Roosevelt so that he could exercise. President Harry S. Truman knew it was time to renovate the White House after a leg on his daughter's piano broke right through the floor. Hear these funny, surprising stories and more about the most famous home in America and the extraordinary families who have lived in it. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
