Learn about presidents, their families, and their pets in this fun and fascinating book of poems, just right for poetry month in April or any time of the year.
A celebrity cow. A mischievous snake. A pampered raccoon. A ghostbusting dog. These are just some of the pets you'll learn about in Who Named Their Pony Macaroni? After all, the White House has been home to more than just presidents—who could forget the furry, scaly, feathered friends who impressed the press, guarded their charges, and kept First Families company through their ups and downs? Marilyn Singer's compelling poems and Ryan McAmis's mixed-media illustrations will delight readers with stories of the creatures who sat beside our country's leaders, and introduce intriguing connections between the animals and the administrations they accompanied. Just right for kids who love animals, history, or both, and includes more detail in the back of the book!
