Discussion

This page is always a work in progress (there are always new books coming along, after all), but it's a great place to start for the curious. All these titles have been suggested by Monticello staff - these are the books we use the most often and find the most useful for our work.

The book you recommend for kids, Our White House: Looking In, Looking Out, is one of my favorites, too, something I've given my neice and nephew as a gift! Good choice!!
