Storytime – George Washington and the Cherry Tree – PART 1

It’s finally time for Bookworm Storytime again! This time it’s a little different than we’re used to, because, I’m trying out my new webcam, and I’m also only reading half the story. It’s a longer story than the others I’ve read, so you will have to tune in tomorrow for the second half of the story.

The story I’m reading is ‘George Washington and the Cherry Tree’ and it comes from a book called, “Best Loved Children’s Stories”. I couldn’t find it on Amazon, so I can’t share the link with you this time. I’ve been talking about history around here lately, because, of some great movies that I’ve been watching. And one of the cool things I talked about recently was a secret basement and tunnel under George Washington’s home, Mount Vernon. So I thought a story about George Washington would be fun to read.

I found a pretty nice coloring page for you, also – and it comes right from the official White House website! Here you go: George Washington 1789-1797

Here’s a snapshot of it. You can click the picture to go to the White House site and print it out, also.
