Thomas Jefferson Builds a Library by Barb Rosenstock

Rosenstock, Barb. Thomas Jefferson Builds a Library. Honesdale: Calkins Creek. 2013. 32p.  

Lovely watercolor illustrations accompanied by facts, statistics, interactive text and humor combine to form an entertaining book that takes the reader through Jefferson's obsession with reading as a child and during his presidency. Small boxes on each page shaped like open books include quotes by Thomas Jefferson or interesting facts about his interests.  This story will supplement units on presidents, biographies or historical time periods nicely.
