5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommend it! Fun and Educational!!, December 2, 2000

By	Leslie G Nelson (Payson, UT United States) - See all my reviews

This book is wonderful and engaging. It is about a little boy, George W. Allen who shares his name and his birthday with George Washington. He knows many facts about George W. but he wants to know more. One day he decides he wants to know what George W. had for breakfast and the learning adventure begins!! I read it to my boys 6 and 4 and they loved it. My sons enjoyed the facts about George W. like: he had two horses named Nelson and Blueskin. There were many "fun facts" such as this in the book. I loved it because in addition to learning about George W., it shows children different ways to search for information. George Allen first goes to the library from there to the card catalog, and then the biographies. Then his family took a trip to Washington D.C., and to George Washington's home in Virginia. It's a great addition to any family library.

5.0 out of 5 stars George W.Allen searches for his namesakes breakfast., March 26, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: George Washington's Breakfast (Turtleback)

George Allen feels related to George Washington because they share a name and a birthday. He knows many facts about the first president but George Allen wants to know what Washington ate for his breakfast. His detemination to succeed makes the book an interesting tour through history. We learn many facts about Washington and also the rewards of perseverance.

5.0 out of 5 stars George jWashington's breakfast, September 28, 2005

By	Linda Rasmussen "linda" (nevada,USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am a second grade teacher, and have a 8 and 4 year old at home. I loved this book, both at school and home. We read it every President's Day, and bake up a serving of hoecakes. It is a really fun way to teach children about the history of George Washington.
