Meet the Scottish terrier who won the hearts of a United States president and the American people. In 1940, Fala came to live with President Franklin D. Roosevelt in the White House. The little dog played in the grass outside the Oval Office, attended important meetings with the president's advisors, and even dined with the president. But as America was drawn into the conflict of a world war, life at the White House changed. Fala accompanied the president across the country and around the world, waiting with him for the return of American servicemen and an end to a terrible war. Author Elizabeth Van Steenwyk offers young readers a glimpse into American history and the life of an American president through the story of a loyal dog. Michael G. Montgomery's full-color illustrations capture the indomitable spirit of Fala and the nation and president who loved him.

I found this book to be engaging and quite entertaining. Even as a young adult, I still enjoy a good picture book. This one is definitely top notch! The author creatively tells the story, easy enough for young readers to understand, while getting all the major facts in there about President Franklin Roosevelt's life and his dog Fala. Since a cute Scottish terrier is the main character of the book, it engages the imaginations of little ones, even though they're really learning historical facts. In addition to the wonderful writing, there are, of course, the delightful illustrations! Oh, how I love all the pictures. With such detail and color, I found myself looking through the entire book again and again, just to remind myself how cute Fala is illustrated! This is an absolutely adorable book, and you simply must read it with your children or little siblings.
