This Week's Books

Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone.

Abraham Lincoln was the 16th president of the United States.

Geronimo was an Indian warrior.

The Into Volcano one was about two boys who explore a volcano.

The Pet one was about a cat and a dog and a turtle.

The Benny and Penny one was about two little mice.

Andrew Jackson

Today I just read a short biography about Andrew Jackson.

He was born in 1767 in the Waxhaw region - which is near where I was born, Charlotte, NC.

Andrew joined the army during the Revolutionary War when he was only 13.

His Dad died before he was born, and the rest of his family died during the War.

Even though he was an orphan he went on to do many great things.

And he became the 7th President of the United States.

He's my father's favorite President!

There was a Snow Monkey.

There were sea lions.

There was a polar bear.

There were penguins, lots of them!
