Farmer George Plants a Nation by Peggy Thomas
Describes how George Washington built his farm at Mount Vernon, discussing his experiments with seeds, fertilizers, and tools and presenting related letters and diary entries.
My Thoughts - Reading this biography of George Washington gives a new appreciation for his contribution to our country beyond being a leader of the Revolutionary War and our first President. This was a facinating look at his lasting contribution to agriculture, his experiements and inventions. I think this is a must read for any student! It is also great for a read aloud for older students who already think they know all about George Washington.
