DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis inside look at the White House's animal residents features a rollicking, rhyming verse for each commander-in-chief's pets, accompanied by cool facts, presidential stats, and laugh-out-loud cartoon art. John Quincy Adams kept an alligator in the bathtub, while Thomas Jefferson's pride and joy was his pair of bear cubs. Andrew Jackson had a potty-mouthed parrot, and Martin Van Buren got into a fight with Congress over his two baby tigers. First daughter Caroline Kennedy's pony Macaroni had free reign over the White House. But the pet-owning winner of all the presidents was Theodore Roosevelt, who had a hyena, lion, zebra, badger, snake, rats, a nippy dog that bit the French ambassador, and more!

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA clever, funny, and informative look at the pets--from Calvin Coolidge's wallaby to Teddy Roosevelt's flying squirrels--that have passed through the White House gates. Perfect for fans of I Am George Washington and So You Want to Be President? President Truman famously said, "If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog." And a dog is what many presidents got. From James Garfield to Calvin Coolidge to Richard Nixon, presidents often found a friend in Fido (in fact, Abe Lincoln's pup was actually named Fido). Others preferred cats, horses, small critters, or even big, ferocious animals like bears and alligators. With a catchy refrain ("If you want a friend in Washington . . . , "), this is a funny, educational book about the animals that have passed through the White House. Whether it's favorite dogs like Barbara Bush's Millie or the Obamas' Bo; Abraham Lincoln's cat, Dixie; Calvin Coolidge's hippo, Billy; or Andrew Jackson's foul-mouthed parrot, Poll, Erin McGill brings to life a menagerie of presidential pets in this entertaining, whimsical, and carefully researched picture book that's perfect for animal lovers and history buffs alike.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFrom the very beginning of the American republic animals -- both domestic and wild -- have been part of the presidency. Horses, bears, sheep, goats, dogs, cats, racoons and even hummingbirds have taken up residence at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. The list of animals also includes pets that couldn't stay: wild beasts such as elephants, lions, a tiger and a hippopotamus. They were taken to zoos where millions of Americans got to enjoy them. But those who stayed assumed the role of First Pet. This book is for all animal lovers and history buffs, especially those who follow the lives of American presidents and their families. Readers will learn about the human side of the most powerful leaders of the United States and their caring, playful attachments to their animals; they will also discover President Obama's Bo, a black-haired Portuguese water dog, among the many pets featured and celebrated. The treatment includes a special section on all of the dogs who lived at the White House and a Presidential Pet Quiz, which will thoroughly test your knowledge of American presidents and their favourite pets.
