Dolley Madison Saves George Washington

32 pp. | Houghton | October, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-0-618-41199-3 $16.00
(3) K-3 This picture book biography focuses on a particular incident in the First Lady's life: during the War of 1812, Dolley rescued the Gilbert Stuart life-size portrait of George Washington from the soon-to-be-burned President's Mansion. Brown's fine-lined pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations don't shy away from the harsh realities of battle and post-Revolutionary War life but nevertheless maintain a sly, light tone. Bib.
