Books with author Margaret Arndt

This Informative and wide-ranging series offers a behind-the-scenes look at 6 of the 10 presidential libraries in the United States. Along with biographical sketches of each president, young readers will learn about the libraries and museums through the exhibits and pictures featured throughout the book. Kids will learn about the U. S. government, and about recent history with this dynamic new series, full of primary sources. Each book is also filled with fun facts that will help keep kids' interest and will help them to relate to such a powerful figure as the president of the United States. As the father of the current president, George Bush is still very much in the public eye. But his own administration had many dramatic moments of its own, including the Gulf War Bush's early years, his studies at Yale, and his heroic stint as a WW II fighter pilot are covered. Readers will learn that one room of the library, located in College Station, Texas, is even devoted to Bush's sense of humor, showing clips from videos featuring the president himself in humorous sketches.
