According to Britannica.com, Presidents’ Day is officially Washington’s Birthday and is a holiday in the United States (third Monday in February) popularly recognized as honoring George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Many people use this day to also celebrate the lives of all U.S. presidents.

There are many ways to teach your children about these two amazing presidents and those that served thereafter, on iPad apps, but there is nothing like opening a tangible book and reading aloud with your child or having them read to you. Reading time is SO much fun. 
“I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book.” ― Groucho Marx

Here are 15 President's Day books for kids that I believe will teach your children about this special holiday and the great men we celebrate, but also be entertaining.
