Presidents' Day by Anne Rockwell
A simple, yet great picture book that explains the meaning of the holiday through a classroom play.

" Today at school we celebrated Presidents' Day by putting on a play. Mrs. Madoff said I could be George Washington because his birthday is the same as mine. Charlie was Abraham Lincoln because he's the tallest kid in our class. Everyone else had very important parts to play, too. At the end of the day we voted for class president, and you'll never guess who won!"
