First Family is about the Obama's life in the white house. It takes you through a typical day in the white house, but more specifically it focuses on Malia and sasha and what it is like for them. This I think makes it more interesting for kids to read about because I know I have always wondered what would be like to live in the White house. It gives us a little inside to that.
The story line isn't too complex. It really just has a bunch of information about their life in the white house. I learned a few new things or two. Also, everything is factual so the reader learns a littel bit about being the president and first family.
I loved the illustrations in this book. They are pretty realistic and very cute.
The end of the book has some quick facts about the president and some of the things you we saw in the book like the resolute desk given to president Hayes by Queen Victoria in the 1880s and has been used by various presidents. It also shows the girl doing homework at Ab. Lincolin's desk which is pretty cool to think about.
I really liked this story. This i a book I would like to have it in my classroom because I think it is important to be aware of current events even at a young age. This is book is a way that could be accomplished in an age appropiate manner.
