My Review:  Ok, technically today is George Washington’s birthday.  When I was a child, I heard all about how he would never tell a lie and that he told the truth about chopping down a cherry tree.  As I grew, I found out this wasn’t true and just a legend.  Well, well maybe the story in this book is also legend (although they say it’s true), but I sure like it.  When things all around us are going crazy and the economy stinks and we can’t trust or believe any of our leaders, it’s nice to know that even if these stories are

possibly legends, we can know that our country’s first leaders were compassionate and honest people.  I liked this book, enjoyed reading it to my second graders, and hope to restore some hope and faith in our country.  As a country, we had some awesome (although maybe not perfect) beginnings.  It’s nice to be reminded where we came from.
