Did you know that Ameilia Earhart and Eleanor Roosevelt were friends?
I didn't until I read Amelia and Eleanor Go For a Ride.
The book allows the reader the opportunity to become a part of history by joining two friends, who also happen to be real-life strong female figures, on an incredible journey that begins with an elegant dinner at the White House. Amelia describes to Eleanor the feelings she experiences while flying her airplane at night, and suggests that they take a trip! Eleanor agrees that it is a splendid idea, so they soar over the Washington D.C. night sky together. The best part is that these events actually happened!
In the book, Pam Munoz Ryan includes a special recipe from The White House, as well as details of the true events that occurred that night and how she discovered this amazing story.
It is really an interesting read, and a fun trip back in time! Even though it is a picture book, it is fun for adults too!
