any book by Jean Fritz:

George Washington's Breakfast (although the version my son read wasn't as cartoony and was more 1950's illustrations style, I wonder if it was an earlier edition)

Can't you make them behave, King George?
Will you sign here, John Handcock?


Lane Smith is one of our favorite authors and we liked this by him



I like picture books with my children when they are young as an introduction and then we get more advanced stuff if they are interested in learning more.
