"Weird but True! Know it All: US Government" from National Geographic Kids

Michael Burgan talks about “Weird but True Know-It-All: U.S. Government” on this edition of "The Kids' Bookshelf." This book contains entertaining and educational facts and trivia about the U.S. Government, including Federal, State, City, and Tribal Government. Also trivia about the White House, Monuments, and more. It's published by National Geographic Kids.
Did you know the White House contains a putting green, a bowling alley, a movie theatre, and more? Did you know that the Washington Monument was the tallest building in the world when it was completed in 1888? That's just two of the many fascinating facts from the book.
Michael Burgan is a historian who writes biographies and current events for younger audiences. His previous books include “Who Was Henry Ford?,” “Who Was Theodore Roosevelt?,” “The Creation of the U.S. Constitution,” and “Weird But True Know-It-All: Middle Ages.” He joins us to talk about “Weird but True Know-It-All: U.S. Government.”
I requested and was provided with a copy of the book, but this video is not sponsored.

Hi!, I'm Dan Skinner. Thanks for watching this interview. "The Kids' Bookshelf" is a channel for adults looking for age-appropriate books for the children in their lives. The series features interviews with authors and illustrators of children's books including picture books, chapter books, and middle-grade books. Viewers will learn about the inspiration for the books, what themes are explored in the books, and see sample illustrations. My goal is to give you enough information to decide if the book would be a good addition to your child's library. The series also provides a sneak peek into the creative process of the authors and illustrators.
