Thomas Jefferson Builds a Library by Barb Rosenstock

4.0

I picked this up off the shelf hoping to use it for a book-themed story time. Sadly, it's way too in-depth for that. But, it is a fascinating look into Jefferson and his relationship to books and reading. The story is fairly straight-forward, but each page has multiple side bar sections with extra information. It includes an author's note on Jefferson's life as well as a short bibliography and source notes. This would be perfect for an elementary school report on Jefferson.
