  1. My kids love reading books like this! I still remember when I would read my own little kid U.S. history books and spout all these facts that annoyed my parents. Now I know how my parents feel I guess! Thanks for this list though! Hadn’t heard of very many of these!

    1. Ha! I know what you mean… my kiddos do get a kick out of hearing all of the interesting stories about our presidents…. from starting libraries to creating national parks, the individual books that talk about the earmark actions have grabbed their attention over the years.

  2. Such a great list! We loved The Camping Trip That Changed America. Pinned.

    1. The Camping Trip That Changed America is one of our favorites (and Teddy is one of my favorite presidents!) I had the pleasure of meeting the author — who’s also fabulous 🙂

  3. Can you believe Donald Trump is going to be in our children’s history books?
    They are going to have a lot of questions where my honest answer will be, “Honey, I really don’t know why.”
    LOL
    Thanks for this list though! It is so important to teach our children the past.
