After you’ve read Eleanor Roo­sevelt’s in My Garage, try this book:

Eleanor Roosevelt’s in My Garage!

In this hilar­i­ous fol­low-up to Ben Franklin’s In My Bath­room!, his­to­ry and hijinks col­lide once more when Eleanor Roo­sevelt acci­den­tal­ly time trav­els to a ten-year-old’s home in 21st-cen­tu­ry America!

When Eleanor Roo­sevelt time trav­els to Nolan and Olive’s house in mod­ern-day Illi­nois, the kids don’t know who she is at first. After all, she’s old and wear­ing a hair­net. But the First Lady of the Unit­ed States — some 80 years ago, that is — isn’t a mys­tery for long when she starts spout­ing things like “You must do the things you think you can­not do.” Fresh off a vis­it from Ben Franklin, Nolan and Olive know what they’re in for with this lat­est guest: an adven­ture. From draw­ing on ideals of civ­il protest to save the town park, to (almost) doing a loop-de-loop in a sin­gle-engine plane, to avoid­ing that know-it-all snoop Tom­my Tut­tle, there’s one laugh after the next in this sec­ond book in the His­to­ry Pals series. Fun back mat­ter expands the sto­ry and unpacks the amaz­ing life of Eleanor Roosevelt.
