Items related to George Washington
Cheryl Harness uses her wonderfully vibrant art and down-to-earth writing style to "chip away the marble" and present George Washington as more than a monument. We see George the adventurous boy, tromping through the woods with his dog and his hunting rifle; George the courageous military leader fighting alongside his men; George the cunning military strategist, outfoxing the British and forcing their surrender at Yorktown; George the brilliant statesman presiding over the Constitutional Convention; and George the President, wisely protecting our country from enemies foreign and domestic so it could grow strong. But through it all, we see George as happiest living as an experimental farmer at Mount Vernon with his wife, Martha. He could have been Emperor of America, but he chose to spend his last years "looking after things that needed doing" at home.

From School Library Journal:
Grade 3-6-This short but informative biography provides both the big picture and small details. It describes Washington's life primarily through his role in the American Revolution and his presidency, but it also gives a clear description of his active youth. Details such as his enjoyment of adventure and dancing, his longing to be an officer in the British army, and his attempts to avoid his bossy mother all help to dispel the image of an austere figure best known through statuary and formal portraits. Other facts tell a great deal about his bravery in the Revolution and his wisdom in his role as the nation's first leader. The full and double-page mixed-media illustrations are beautifully executed, though occasionally busy, and enhance the attractiveness of the volume. Hand-lettered notes, labels, captions, and maps are incorporated into the art and add to the text. A short fact sheet gives additional information about the president's life.
