The House That George Built by Suzanne Slade illustrated Rebecca Bond*

Based on the traditional poem, This Is the House That Jack Built, Ms. Slade reveals the steps George Washington took to build the White House.  On the left hand side of the each page, the text is prose providing the story/facts about the specific step.

Personally reading the This Is the House That Jack Built poem exhausts me, so when reading this book I just read the prose! 

I found the information about the building of the White House fascinating and highly recommend reading this book when studying this period of history.  Additonal information about the White House and also its additons by other presidents is provided in the back.  

*Highly recommend.
