Scholastic has yet another American History jewel in its crown collection....The White House: An Illustrated History


The Buzz:

Through fascinating behind-the-scenes glimpses of the White House captured in more than 200 photographs, many of which were taken specifically for the book, and unprecedented personal interviews with the staff so that their faces and voices could be brought to life, weaved together with an engaging narrative that leads the reader through the lifespan of the house, The White House: An Illustrated History is an all encompassing look at this famous American landmark.


E.B. Mommy's Report:

So you've never been to Washington D.C. but you really want to see the much talked about historical landmark, the home to the President of the USA, the White House. Now though I would've loved to do a tour of the same with you, I guess we just need to accept the next best thing....a pictorial tour with Catherine O'Neill Grace's book, The White House: An Illustrated History.

Catherine takes the reader on a tour of the West Wing, Oval Office, the Green Room and the State Dining Room, to mention just a few of the areas you get to see. The reader is even treated to rare photographs of the Family Quarters and gets to read the inside scoop on all that happens inside this glorious building from staff and officials like the Chief Floral Designer and the Pastry Chef.

I've thoroughly enjoyed going through this book and with a little imagination, you really can picture what it's like to be IN the White House!

This book is rich with history and photographs and is definitely a recommended inclusion to your home library.

(Suggested for children aged 8 years and older)
