Synopsis
Young readers of all ages will love this story about President Thomas Jefferson, who found his passion as soon as he learned to read: books, books, and more books!

Author Barb Rosenstock''s rhythmic words and illustrator John O''Brien''s whimsical illustrations capture Jefferson''s zeal for the written word as well as little-known details about book collecting. An author''s note, bibliography, and source notes for quotations are also included.
