fun for the whole family

I snagged this from the library to entertain my husband, never dreaming it would be our 2-year-old daughter's favorite selection that week. The drawings are very funny, and it runs you through a cute tour of D.C.

A Funny Book About Living in the White House

The son of a female president, the White House mouse, and the family cat go on an adventure around the White House and through Washington D.C. This is a very sweet and funny story that takes a reader on a tour of the White House and Washington DC. It is really funny and very highly recommended.

The story is entertaining, and the drawings are vibrant, with unbelievable details (you have to look through the book several times to absorb all the nuances). Children and adults will fall in love with THE GREAT WHITE HOUSE BREAKOUT -- while taking a romp through the sites of Washington, DC!
