WHITE HOUSE CHILDREN
Imagine:
- having soldiers camped in your house
- playing tag on the White House lawn
- having a pillow fight with the President of the United States
- meetings kings and queens
These are some of the experiences of children who have lived in the White House. The special lives of George Washington's grandchildren, Abraham Lincoln's sons, Teddy Roosevelt's six children, Caroline and John Kennedy, Jr., and Amy Carter are all here in this intriguing book.

Reviews
Step-Up Books
Reviewed by Edward Garboczi
In a child’s book journey, two milestones are: the first chapter book read to them and the first chapter book that they can read for themselves. Usually, we think about this milestone applying to fiction, since there are many easy-to-read chapter books for children. Clyde Robert Bulla’s books are a great example. However, for non-fiction, I feel that there is sometimes less of an assortment available, with an exception being The Step-Up Book series. These are well-written, with large type and lovely illustrations, first chapter books that tell the story of a person or part of history.
