Fly Guy and Buzz are in Washington, D. C. to tour the White House where the President lives.

While I have never toured the White House but have read things about it, I learned so much more in this book. It was interesting to see the blue print of it and have the rooms described. I liked that the office part was explained on how the West Wing and the Oval Office came to be. It was also interesting to see the private rooms for the use of the President and his guests. I also enjoyed the portraits of the Presidents. As I looked at them and their terms I was amazed at how often there were one-term Presidents.

Totally enjoying all this learning. ( )
