About the Author:

Kennedy is the founder of KidSmart Press and former editor in chief of Sesame Street magazine.

From School Library Journal:

Kindergarten-Grade 2—Having Fun describes the entertainment facilities in the famous residence, including the movie theater, bowling lanes, swimming pools, etc., as well as the Easter egg roll and fireworks. Probably the most appealing of these titles to children, Pets combines photographs from various sources (many from www.presidentialpetmuseum.com) of animals like those owned by former first families with small bits of information. Story gives some history of the building including interesting statistics (there are 35 bathrooms and 8 staircases). Time offers an overview of the chefs' jobs and a few presidents' food preferences, along with a recipe from Laura Bush for hot chocolate. In all four books, a full-color, full-page photo (many of former residents) faces a paragraph or two of large-print text and a small photo. Good choices for libraries needing more easy-to-read nonfiction.—Debbie Whitbeck, West Ottawa Public Schools, Holland, MI
