George Did It by Suzanne Jurmain

George Did It is a humorous look at our very down-to-earth first president. It is full of interesting historical facts and comical illustrations that will appeal to children. Not only did George not want the job of president, he had to borrow money from a neighbor to pay for the trip to New York for his inauguration because he couldn't afford the trip. All of the fancy parties for him just put him to sleep. And, even though he wanted to be home at Mount Vernon, when it came time to serve as president George did it.

The book is in the same style as George Washington's Teeth, Thank-you Sarah, the Woman Who Saved Thanksgiving and So You Want to be President. A bibliography of the sources for the facts contained in the book is provided. It had starred reviews in Booklist, Publisher's Weekly and SLJ and could be used in grades 2-5.
