Thomas Jefferson Builds a Library

Thomas Jefferson loved to read and collected three libraries in his lifetime according to the nonfiction picture book written for upper elementary/middle school students.  The pop-out boxes give additional information and the illustrations by John O'Brien add a great deal of detail to the story. This is a book that would enhance a trip to Monticello and would also add interest to a visit to the Library of Congress where Jefferson donated his second library after the British burned the books in 1814.
