Bookroo's summary

George Washington's home is in disarray. His cows live upstairs, hogs throw better parties than Martha, and sheep outsmart Tom Jefferson. Can the Father of the Nation restore order?

From the publisher

“George Washington’s cows were kept upstairs, And given their own special room.They never were seen by light of day.No matter for what or by whom.” These cows are just the beginning of George’s problems. To be sure, his hogs are helpful around the house, but it irks Martha when their parties are better than hers. And then there are the sheep–all of them smarter than Tom Jefferson, with degrees (no to say “sheepskins”) to prove it. What’s a Father of his country to do? David Smalll puts a hilariously sticky fingerprint on the well-polished veneer of American history, showing readers what really went on in the home of our first President.
