George VI, King of Great Britain

Illustrated by
Victor Juhasz.
When the King and Queen of England visit in June 1939, First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt decides to introduce them to an American picnic staple: the hot dog. Juhasz's caricature figures range from giggle-worthy (the Queen eats hers with a fork and knife) to odd and unflattering (poor Eleanor). Kimmelman's amusing historical story delicately explains the Great Depression and touches on soon-to-follow WWII.
