A fun—and educational—twist on the popular nursery rhyme “The House That Jack Built,” The House That George Built tells the story of the birth of our nation in a way kids can understand and appreciate. Suzanne Slade’s rhyming text is fun to read out loud, but what’s really great about this beautifully illustrated storybook is the wealth of facts peppered throughout. Readers will discover all sorts of interesting things about American history, the people who built the President’s House, and the significant changes the presidents have made to the President’s House over the years, including its official name change in 1901, when President Theodore Roosevelt decided to call it the White House.
