Hot Dog!: Eleanor Roosevelt Throws a Picnic

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Victor Juhasz. When the King and Queen of England visit in June 1939, First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt decides to introduce them to an American picnic staple: the hot dog. Juhasz's caricature figures range from giggle-worthy (the Queen eats hers with a fork and knife) to odd and unflattering (poor Eleanor). Kimmelman's amusing historical story delicately explains the Great Depression and touches on soon-to-follow WWII.
