From Amazon reviews: “Solid, substantiated, scholarly, but fun to read, too… Prepare to be significantly more informed about the history of your own country, and brace yourself for a good bit of disillusionment and outrage.

Donald the Caveman by Eric Metaxas

Written by #1 bestselling author and humorist Eric Metaxas and illustrated by award-winning artist Tim Raglin, Donald Builds the Wall is part political parable, part children’s book, and completely hilarious. From Amazon reviews: “I barked out loud laughing at the biggest creature from the swamp… very witty as should be expected from one of the most engaging and hysterically funny speakers ever to command a podium… Clever, cute and dead-on, Donald Drains the Swamp illustrates perfectly the stinky money grab of the elitists in Washington and the popular appeal of ‘caveman’ Donald. I highly recommend it… This book is now my choice gift to friends. Both adults and children will love its delicious (typical Metaxas) humor. A new classic!”

Marlon Bundo by Charlotte Pence (illustrated by Karen Pence)

This children’s series written by the Vice President’s daughter Charlotte and illustrated with original watercolors by the Vice President’s wife Karen featured the Pence family’s real-life pet bunny (and Instagram star) Marlon Bundo. From Amazon reviews: “Very charming story, delightful pictures… A good wholesome children’s book that teaches a little about the daily role of a Vice President through the eyes of the Pences’ rabbit… I bought 3 copies for our grandchildren! Great story that is well written and beautifully illustrated!”

Freddy the Frogcaster by Janice Dean

Fox News meteorologist Janice Dean “The Weather Machine” makes weather science kid-friendly and fun in this delightful children’s series. From Amazon reviews: “Meteorologist Janice Dean combines her weather expertise with Russ Cox’s engaging, humorous illustrations for a story that’s irresistible to both child and parent… There are several pages of meteorological definitions and explanations at the end of the book… My 7-year-old nephew loves it, and so does my 22-month-old son. Lately it’s the only book he’s grabbing from the bookshelf. I think younger kids are drawn in by the pictures, while older ones love that it’s the little guy to the rescue.”

Ellis the Elephant by Callista Gingrich

America’s favorite time-traveling elephant visits figures and places from America’s past in this delightful series from Callista Gingrich, wife of former Speaker Newt Gingrich. From Amazon reviews: “Just tonight I read this book with 3 of my grandchildren ages 5, 7 and 8. They were delighted and especially liked looking for the eagle on each page. I asked them if they knew who the first man to walk on the moon was and they surprised me by naming Neil Armstrong .. and I surprised them when they found out I was ‘alive’ at that special time. Good read and enabled fun discussion with the kids. Thank You Callista Gingrich.“
