Book Review - Who Named Their Pony Macaroni?: Poems About White House Pets
About the Book
A family of mice.
A runaway goat.
A mischievous snake.
A shocking parrot.
A pardoned turkey.
A pampered raccoon.
A ghostbusting dog.
A celebrity cow.
The White House housed more than presidents and First Families--who could forget the furry, scaly, feathered friends who impressed the press, guarded their charges, and kept them company through all the ups and downs of their respective terms?
Marilyn Singer's compelling poems will delight readers with stories of the creatures who sat beside our country's leaders, as she draws intriguing connections between the animals and the administrations they accompanied. Mixed-media illustrations by Ryan McAmis lend humor and vivacity, and detailed back matter explores each president's pet history in more depth.
My Take on the Book
This was a great book that let you look close at the pets of the white house over the years. You do not always know about these animals but this book really opened my eyes to who these animals were and some fun anecdotes about them. This was a great book that really helps you learn a lot!!
