Every day is a good day for a history lesson with this entertaining Step 3 History Reader! Confident young readers will enjoy hunting down the TRUTH about several of our U.S. presidents in this funny, fact-filled quiz book.

President William Howard Taft, the twenty-seventh president of the United States, got stuck in the White House bathtub, right? That’s a LIE! The TRUTH is, he never actually got stuck in the bath during his presidency, but he did go on to become a Supreme Court chief justice after his term. Though 100% fun, 25% of this engaging early reader is FALSE! In a unique question-and-answer format, proficient readers are quizzed about funny, interesting presidential trivia, to see if they can separate facts from "lies." Our mascot—the Truth Sleuth—guides readers through this entertaining and fact-packed book, filled with historical photos and kid-appealing art and humor.

Step 3 Readers feature engaging characters in easy-to-follow plots about popular topics for children who are ready to read on their own.
