My Little Golden Book About The White House Kindle Edition

Now the littlest readers can learn about the White House--how it came to be, and what it's like to live there!

In this engaging Little Golden Book, preschoolers will enjoy fascinating stories about the White House and some of the presidents, First Families, and even First Pets who have lived there. Simple words and bright artwork bring to life the story of how the White House came to be, and how it has changed over time.

Little ones will learn that George Washington himself chose the building site, and that nearly every president has left his mark--from Thomas Jefferson's introduction of "water closets"--early toilets!--to Michelle Obama's vegetable garden. And kids will gain a clear understanding of the role the White House plays in American life and culture. Fun anecdotes about the rowdy Roosevelt children riding metal trays down the staircase, the annual Easter Egg Roll, and how the White House once kept cows for milk complete this charming nonfiction Little Golden Book.

Educational preschool read on the White House
I created a Patriotic display for the 4th of July. This little Golden Book was a great read to accompany the theme and I bought painted pegs of George and Martha Washington. My 2.5yr old daughter enjoyed flipping through the pages along with me. The pictures are colorful and the story simple and I’m sure each year when I bring it out she will grasp more of the history. I give this a thumbs up for how the White House came to be spoiler alert 🤫 George and Martha never lived in the White House. Yes, I knew this but won’t it be something when my kid informs her class of this very fact.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cute little history of White House for second grader
Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2020
Verified Purchase
I purchased this book for my second grader. Sometimes it is hard to tell without seeing a Golden Books whether it is for a 4 year old or an 8 year old. This is appropriate for my second grader to read and comprehend on his own, but not too easy. Each page has a paragraph or two (each paragraph being a 1-3 sentences). It is accurate and has nice photos as well, and is written as a story. A good basic historically correct book about the White House for a school age child.

My daughter was a 3rd grader in CA and they talked about the White House. She real enjoyed having a book to read about what they had just talked about in class.

Purchased for an almost 3 year old but ended up giving it to her 6 year old sister. I liked the short and simple explanation of the White House as well as the pictures in the book. Heck, I even learned a few things! Good ole’ Little Golden Books.
