What Kind of Book is George Washington's Breakfast
Reviews
With a boy named after the famous George Washington, we go on a research adventure looking for what George Washington may have eaten for breakfast. They search library books, check the Smithsonian museum and even visit Mount Vernon, the home of George Washington himself. The joy of this book comes from the persistence of the young boy to find out something he didn't know before.
