George Washington's Breakfast Paperback – Picture Book, February 2, 1998

The story about a boy who wanted to find out what GW ate for breakfast was interesting. However, the boy must use the old card catalog in the library, and those are now digital. If the book were updated to reflect current research sources, it would be 5 star.

I liked this book. It was fun and interesting with lots of history in it.

One of my favorite books of all time. It is a good historical fiction piece for children.There are a lot of true facts about George Washington in this book based around a fictional character. At the end I cooked George Washington’s breakfast for my kids :-).

Well written, very interesting, brings George Washington to life.

My kindergartener just loved this book! It opened up a lot of discussion about George Washington. It's a bit long, so older kids would do better reading it on their own. My 5 yr old is at a 2nd grade reading level and could read it just fine, but the length was a little daunting for her. It's a fun story though that we enjoyed reading together!

I enjoy all of Jean Fritz's books, but this one is particularly fun. I read it to my class of 6th graders. We had to read 1/2 one day and the other half the next day. This is one of the few books that the kids wanted to finish all in one day, such was their interest. That's a sign of great writing. A real page turner.

We love this book. And it came in perfect condition. But the book never told us what GW's favorite food was...? Other than that we loved it!

I felt this was a really creative take on the subject. As a homeschooler that tends to follow the interest of my child, I could really relate to this story as the family tries many avenues to answer the son's question. I would love to have followed up the read with a visit to Mt. Vernon too!

Me gustó mucho esta historia sobre un niño que nación el mismo día que el ex presidente y tiene el mismo nombre. La historia se centra en su investigación y los diferentes medios que usa para buscar datos, lo recomiendo mucho.
