George Did It! written by Suzanne Tripp Jermaine Puffin, 2007        "Putting a human face on one of the most famously wooden figures in American history, this picture book focuses on George Washington as a reluctant first president…Brightened with watercolor washes, Day's strong drawings illustrate the story with wit and finesse…this thoroughly engaging book has a great deal to offer young students of American history..." Booklist, Starred Review

"Complemented by witty cartoon drawings, a lively text explains why Americans wanted George Washington to be their first president and how reluctant the successful general felt about accepting the position..." School Library Journal, Starred review
