There are plenty of books with Washington-area connections. Here are a few:
? "Lincoln: A Photobiography" by Russell Freedman. Go to Ford's Theatre in downtown Washington where you can see the box where Lincoln was shot. There's also a cool museum with artifacts.
? "Misty of Chincoteague" by Marguerite Henry. Visit the islands of Assateague and Chincoteague on Maryland and Virginia's Eastern Shore to see where ponies still swim each summer.
? "The Diary of Anne Frank." Older kids might want to visit the Holocaust Memorial Museum, which offers an honest look at some of the horrors of World War II.
