RUSH: I want to remind you of something. We had a couple of calls yesterday about the Rush Revere Time-Travel Adventures with Exceptional Americans book series<\/a>. This is the Presidents\u2019 Day weekend, and the most recent Rush Revere Time-Travel Adventures with Exceptional Americans book is Rush Revere and the Presidency<\/a>. Folks, I have to be honest, I have to tell you, we hear from people, children all over this country, families who are encouraging me to mention the Rush Revere series more often than I do, and I probably should.<\/p>\n

\"\"But I\u2019m just trying to budget everything and be as — here\u2019s the word — diverse. I\u2019m trying to get as much into this show each and every day as I can because there\u2019s so much happening, and I feel a compulsion every day to make sure certain things are mentioned. Some days I don\u2019t take enough phone calls. Some days I don\u2019t mention this enough. Some days I don\u2019t get to that at all, whatever it is. And people say, “You know, you really got something great. You need to be talking about it more.” And I agree. I agree. I don\u2019t always get the chance \u2019cause all the news is constantly breaking, I mean, literally breaking news constantly now.<\/p>\n

But I tell you, since this is Presidents\u2019 Day weekend, Monday is Presidents\u2019 Day, I\u2019m gonna mention this. The latest book in our New York Times best-selling American history series is Rush Revere and the Presidency. What we have discovered here — and you\u2019ve probably heard parents calling here to share these stories — children that normally don\u2019t like reading and certainly are not interested in history have become devoted to this series. They have become absorbed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>We got an email the other day from a family describing how a couple of their kids hide under a blanket at night with a flashlight to read after they are supposed to be in bed. Parents tell \u2019em you gotta be in bed by X, so they go in the bed and they get under the cover with a flashlight and are reading the books. The parents discovered it and wanted us to know that. And we\u2019re talking about 10-year-olds here who are staying up past curfew to read the Rush Revere Time-Travel Adventures with Exceptional Americans series<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You know why? Because it\u2019s not just history. Because of the usage of a vehicle here called time-travel talking horse that can time travel back to anywhere in American history, the students, readers are taken to these events about which we write, and they experience them. They\u2019re not just told about them, and they\u2019re not just spoken at; they\u2019re actually transformed as part of the story to the events that we depict.<\/p>\n

And in this book, Rush Revere and the Presidency<\/a>, I\u2019m Rush Revere and I\u2019m a substitute teacher in a place called Manchester Middle School and my hilarious sidekick is a smart aleck talking horse named Liberty. He can talk \u2019cause he was struck by lightning when he was young. And he can time travel. He can only go to American history, but he can time travel. He can take students with him from Manchester Middle, and they go back in time. And that\u2019s how they learn about American history.<\/p>\n

In this book, one of the students at Manchester Middle wants to be school president, but for all the wrong reasons. And Rush Revere recognizes that it\u2019s all the wrong reasons. He wants to be famous. He wants to be hip. He wants to be cool. He thinks if he\u2019s school president everybody will like him and that\u2019s what he wants.<\/p>\n

And so the short version of this is that we travel back in time to meet George Washington and John and Abigail Adams. And old Cam witnesses George Washington\u2019s inauguration speech, talks to him about why he ran, why he didn\u2019t accept king, why he left office, the whole thing about what being president of anything really is and why seek it. And we made it a point, by the way, to include Martha Washington and Abigail Adams in this book so that young girls reading it would have things — \u2019cause they were important figures.<\/p>\n

Martha Washington and Abigail Adams were huge, important figures in American history, wanted young girl readers to be able to relate in that way. But it\u2019s a perfect way for young readers to learn and understand how our presidency started and the man who was the first president and how his morality kept this from becoming a monarchy and how it all works today. So this book was released back in latter part of November. We wanted to wait \u2019til after the election crush. And it\u2019s at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, retailers all over the place.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>And I have to add, we post great photos all of the time at Rush Revere\u2019s Facebook page<\/a>. You\u2019ll see recent scholarship winners, amazing comments, Liberty the talking horse really wants you to like his page there. The guy\u2019s got an ego that\u2019s out of control. I mean, if you were a horse and you could talk and time travel, you — you\u2019d have a big ego, too, and Liberty does. He wants lots of followers. Facebook.com\/RushRevere <\/a>— and there are four other books. The first one is Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims, and they\u2019re just all works of art, the illustrations.<\/p>\n

And they\u2019re serious books. They\u2019re not little picture books, color books for little toddlers. I mean, these are books that accept and understand, promote the maturity and intelligence of young readers who actually want to learn American history. In fact, here, I can show you the latest book. Here it is. I\u2019ll flash it on the Dittocam. That is the cover of the Rush Revere and the Presidency<\/a>. I don\u2019t have time to zoom in on this. I\u2019ve only got one hand here to do this with, but that\u2019s it. You can check it out. What a timely time to mention this.<\/p>\n

Now, a brief time-out here. We will come back. It\u2019s Open Line Friday. We\u2019ll get back to the phones. What else do I have here? Oh, yeah. I want to remind you something from the New York Times back in August of last year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
