Description

As soon as Thomas Jefferson learned to read, he found his passion: books, books, and more books! Before, all over, and after the American Revolution, Jefferson collected thousands of books on hundreds of subjects. If truth be told, his massive collection sooner or later helped rebuild the Library of Congress—now the biggest library on the earth. Barb Rosenstock’s rhythmic words and John O’Brien’s whimsical illustrations capture Jefferson’s passion for the written word in addition to little-known information about book collecting. Creator and artist worked closely with experts to create the primary picture book on Jefferson’s love of reading, writing, and books. An Creator’s note, bibliography, and source notes for quotations also are included.
