10 Great Books about our Presidents
February 17, 2011First and foremost, I need to wish a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the Running Man – and (hint) – it’s a BIG one!
My elder adorable has been asking for books about our Presidents lately at bedtime. I love it when he asks for these, as 1) they are more interesting for me to read, and 2) they often induce sleep.*
* Not through any fault of their own, just that they tend to be longer and more sedate than other books we read.
So here are some of our favorites – read and ENJOY!
