Review

"Wrigley at the White House - the first book in what promises to be an enjoyable series -- is an entertaining way to learn about White House history (particularly for dog lovers.) Readers will not only laugh at the puppy's innocent mischief but will also learn more about the historic and history-filled building, drawn from the author's first-hand knowledge of working there."
--The
Children's Book Review.

    “Wrigley at the White House” by Karna Small Bodman and illustrated by Susan Spellman—conveys a playful story set in the most important house in the world. Written by a former White House insider, the book is fun and will familiarize our children with the first family, the Oval Office, and the Secret Service. The illustrations are vibrant and full of motion which will hold a child’s attention. I bought a copy for each of my great-nieces and great-nephews.

    My twins really enjoyed reading this story of twins in the white house. It also allowed us the chance to discuss the Presidential portraits being mentioned and other information about this historic home. The illustrations are darling and it was the right amount of text per page for my young readers.

    This is a beautifully written and illustrated book about the White House and a mischievous puppy named Wrigley. The delightful story follows Wrigley in an adventure through the White House. Is he a rascal, or hero of the day? My Grands love this book! We’re looking forward to Wrigley’s White House Christmas!

    I received this book as a gift and loved it! It's a fun story that offers kids a glimpse into life at the White House. The family's new puppy takes the reader on a tour of the White House, including famous real-life landmarks. My son and I are both fans of the rhymes, they make it great for reading out loud. The lovely watercolor illustrations are lively and bright. The children and the dog especially are so charming! It even includes facts about other famous canine residents of the White House!

    Wrigley's adventures throughout the White House are a must-read for young children. Funny and laughable, this book should be in the home of all who have small children. The illustration is some of the best I've seen in a child's book in many years. I ordered a copy for my grandson and great nieces and nephew. I can't wait to read Wrigley's next adventure!

The main character is a puppy named Wrigley who lives at the White House. It is fascinating to get a sneak peak inside this very famous house. What mischief will little Wrigley get in? Looking forward to more books in this series!

    Easy to read as it comes in small bites and a lot of action. Story really moves along. Puppy was sure genius and Susan's illustrations are fabulous. I learned a couple of things about the White House, too.
