Hot Dog! Eleanor Roosevelt Throws a Picnic by Leslie Kimmelman illustrated by Victor Juhasz

This book shares about the picnic Eleanor Roosevelt has in honor of the King and Queen of England.  People of the United States are horrified that she is serving hot dogs!!
I found it really interesting that it was the first time any British King or Queen were stepping on our soil since the Revolutionary War!  This gathering provides a solid foundation for the U.S. and Britain when they join forces against Hitler during World War II.
More interesting facts about Eleanor and her husband in the "author's note" section.
