Horn Book (Sat Apr 01 00:00:00 CST 2000)

When the folks in Cheshire, Massachusetts, home of Cheshire cheese, "the best you can serve at your table," learned that a Connecticut town was the favored cheddar supplier to President Thomas Jefferson, they decided to make him a 1,235-pound cheddar as a gift. This actual historical event--proof that sometimes truth is stranger than fiction--is documented in a reportorial, tongue-in-cheek style, extended in droll, elegantly limned illustrations.
