“George Washington Allen is a boy who never gives up until he finds out what he wants to know – in this case, what his namesake ate for breakfast.. .. The sprightly, humorous story and likable colored illustrations bring history alive and make research meaningful.” —Booklist

“The sprightly, humorous story and likable colored illustrations bring history alive and make research meaningful.” —Booklist
