From Booklist
Gr. 2^-5. Harness presents facts within a fictional framework in this history picture book for older children. Bored by the White House guide's presentation to her class, Sara is happy to be snared by the ghost of George Washington, who takes her on his own tour. Within each new room they enter, ghosts of the former presidents tell Sara a little about their presidential experiences and offer commentary on the events of the other periods. In the Treaty Room, for example, James Madison teaches Sara about the Constitution, James Monroe talks about writing the Monroe Doctrine, and Woodrow Wilson explains why sheep grazed on the front lawn during his presidency. Thought balloons are used to convey much of the information, with biographical facts on the presidents found in the page borders. Like Alice Provensen's My Fellow Americans (1995), this presents history as real people with real personalities rather than as dry, dusty textbook facts, and the tantalizing tidbits presented may pique student interest enough for them to follow up on their own.

From Kirkus Reviews
A factual picture book offers a good look at the White House and thumbnail sketches of its occupants, past and present. The premise is that Sara and her classmates are to visit the White House, looking up facts ahead of time ``so we wouldn't be stupid on the tour.'' While she's in the East Room, George Washington yanks her physically into his painting, and begins showing her around the house, where they meet different presidential ghosts. Each gets a summary and portrait; factual material is mixed with personal comments to Sara, the tone of which is often quite glib, e.g., Truman tells of his surprise at the metal detectors in the building: ``That makes me mad!'' Despite such lapses, Harness (Abe Lincoln Goes to Washington 18371865, p. 58, etc.) presents a wealth of information, from floor plans to a time line of important events in US history. The illustrations are terrifically cluttered, a design explosion that sometimes results in mottled colors, but more often renders a real idea of what the rooms of the White House are like. The least successful painting appears on the jacket, where various presidents float in the air and sit on the roof of this famous building.

My eight-year old son received this book as a Christmaspresent. He is very interested in presidential trivia and has at leasta dozen other books about presidents.
In the three months he has hadthe book, he has read it so many times it is already starting to fall apart! Since it's really a collection of anecdotes and facts, it's easy to pick up when he has a minute.
The book provides many interesting bits of trivia about the presidents -- even the relatively obscure ones. While many books concentrate on Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and the Roosevelts, this book includes tidbits on all of the presidents. It's not just a list of dates of birth and death, first lady's name, party affiliation, etc.
The illustrations are beautiful.
If you know a child who is interested in presidential trivia or American history, this book is a must. And it may spark the interest of a child who isn't interested in history (yet).

Fun look at history and the White House
30. Oktober 2000
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This is a beautifully illustrated book filled with interesting and fun facts about each president. My nine-year old as well as my 12-year old found it entertaining. Even if your children haven't visited the White House, they will enjoy this book. I would definitely recommend it for a classroom library.

I purchased this book for my 9 yr old daughter because the author was coming to her school. I'm really glad I did. My daughter loved reading this book. It's got a really cute story, and lots of interesting facts about the white house and former presidents. This book is a great tool to help get kids interested in American History.
