Worst of Friends, written by Suzanne Jurmain and illustrated by Larry Day, is a (NF) story about John Adams and Thomas Jefferson and how their friendship progressed. Because they were in different political parties and took different paths in their political careers, it turned them into the worst of friends.

WoodsKatie This is better than just reading a textbook but more about learning about two big political leaders in history and this book can be easily added into a historical lesson in elementary or middle school. The book also satisfies UDL guidelines 3.1 and 3.2 as well as ESOL strategies 4 and 5. This lesson I found included a lesson plan as well as additional information from the authors. https://www.teachingbooks.net/tb.cgi?tid=29518 #LAE3414sp19 5y

The Worst of Friends is a non-fiction book that tells the story between Thomas Jefferson and John Adams. The children will love learning about these two leaders because not only is it filled with useful information, the author does a good job at making the reading funny. Worksheets the kids can work on after they read.http://www.apples4theteacher.com/holidays/presidents-day/thomas-jefferson/printables/ #UCFWalterslit

Hamilton fans: informative picture book on the friendship between Jefferson and Adams and their falling out. this story helps fill in the history of what others were doing at that time.
