Its just enough information for them to understand what the holiday is about but it doesnt overload them."Today at school we celebrated Presidents Day by putting on a play. Mrs. Madoff said I could be George Washington because his birthday is the same as mine. Charlie was Abraham Lincoln because hes the tallest kid in our class. Everyone else had very important parts to play, too. At the end of the day we voted for class president, and youll never guess who won!From the duo who created the classroom Kirkus calls "a charmed place" comes a patriotic primer for picture-book readers.
