Patriotic Adventures
Celebrating Presidents' Day With Your Kids
By Suzy Feine
One afternoon at your local library can uncover plenty of books and movies that will educate both children and adults alike on the presidents and presidential campaigns. Let everyone browse through different books, or sit together as a family to read a patriotic story.
Some suggested books for younger children include:
- The Story of the White House by Kate Waters (Scholastic, 1992)
- Abe Lincoln's Hat by Martha Brenner (Random House Books for Young Readers, 1994)
- George Washington and the General's Dog by Frank Murphy (Random House Books for Young Readers, 2002)
- The Buck Stops Here: The Presidents of the United States by Alice Provensen (Browndeer Press, 1997)
- Arthur Meets the President: An Arthur Adventure by Marc Brown (Little Brown & Company, 1992)
- A Picture Book of Abraham Lincoln by David A. Adler (Holiday House, 1990)
- A Picture Book of George Washington by David A. Adler (Holiday House, 1990)
- Presidents' Day by David F. Marx, Nanci R. Vargus and Katharine A. Kane (Children's Press, 2002)
