Young readers will enjoy this beautiful look at our country's first president, from his early days at Ferry Farm in Virginia to his grade school ferry-ride each morning across the Rappahanick River to his role as a commander in the Revolutionary War. They'll also read about Washington's presidency and his later retirement to Mount Vernon where 'George and Martha had company every night for dinner.' Children will be able to read this biography, which is written at the second-grade level and illustrated in full color, on their own and 'Discover George Washington' for themselves.
