Brower shares a special inside look into the most famous home in America—and
the lives of hardworking staff members and first ladies who’ve maintained it.


Have you ever wondered what exactly goes on inside

resides there, but do you know who helps keep this historic house running?

It’s

of ghosts. And its Residence workers and first ladies make sure everything is in
check and running smoothly.


Featuring fun facts and memorable
quotes from the residents and first ladies of the White House, Exploring the
White House: Inside America's Most Famous Home is the perfect read for any curious kid!

This was a light book probably geared for teens. I learned about the WH operations and history in a cheery, sanitized story. Don't expect nuance regarding how first families interacted with the WH staff. This is a "Disney movie" level of scholarship. If you are okay with that, you'll enjoy this book.

It was okay.

Narration was alright, though not my favorite. I do know more about the White House thanks to this book. Though some things from some of her last books on the subject are repeated, and some of the same cast of characters, even more info is given at times. 8/10.

Not bad, not bad at all.

Not a single original piece of information. The whole listen was pieces from the original book.

Basically a reread
