Written by Leslie Kimmelman, and illustrated by Victor Juhasz, Hot Dog! Eleanor Roosevelt Throws a Picnic, is an award winning childrens book available in Ebooks Minnesota. Published by Sleeping Bear Press, this book, for grades 3-6, has won several regional and national awards. It won the 2015 Notable Social Studies Trade Books for Young People Award, received an honor at the 2015 Storytelling World Resource Awards, and won both a Delaware Diamonds Book Award and the Magnolia Book Award in Mississippi. The author has taken history, a subject that many children find boring, and turned it into a humorous, engaging, and fact-filled lesson by introducing readers to tidbits of pre World War II history and focusing on Eleanor’s role as First Lady. Like many first ladies, one of her duties was to plan fancy dinner parties for visiting dignitaries.
