"U.S. Presidents: the oval office all-stars!" -Dan Green

It's my 2nd NoBloPoMo and I'm ashamed to say I'm not nearly as ready for it as I was last year. I was coordinated, I had it planned out, timed down to the last book! I was even able to post December 1st. Ah well, this year will feature a lot more picture books, but then, I'm reading a heck of a lot more picture books!

Goal: to post non-picture books on the weekends and picture books throughout the week. So here goes...

This book caught my eye because the artwork was so darn cute!! Turns out there's a whole set ranging from history to science to math to music. http://www.basherbooks.com/usa/aboutbooks.html

U.S. Presidents: the oval office all-stars! has each president, using very informal language, talk about himself. The pictures are designed to illustrate not just the man but his presidency and life. There are fun facts and direct quotes.

It was a fun, light read about the presidents. Not so good as a research book but definitely makes parts of history fun! I want to read Mythology and States and Capitals by Basher.

The "A is for ___: a ___ alphabet" series (I've read C is for Cowboy: a Wyoming alphabet by Eugene Gagliano) is a good series, not so much for the research, but for the relaxed, fun tone of the books while still talking about history.

"The Wing Wing Brothers" series by Ethan Long is a graphic novel look at math and is very funny!
