This book explores the life of Theodore Roosevelt, form his childhood to presidency. He was born in 1858 and joined the Navy. As an adult, he was interested in politics. He was elected Vice President in 1900. In 1904, he was elected president after William McKinley was shot 3 years prior. He wanted to run for president again, but lost.
I really enjoyed this book because I really did not know much about him until I read it. The book gives many visuals about him and has facts about him as well. One fact from the book that I found interesting was that he was the first president to fly a plane and own a car. I also liked how at the end of the book, there was a timeline. If children wanted to learn more about him, they would look at this to find the most important things that he did in his life. ( )

I loved the Time book on Theodore Roosevelt because it gives children a lot of info on him but in a fun way. I even learned things about Theodore Roosevelt that I didn't know. I'm going to think of these books in the future when I'm teaching because for a biography it was fun. It can broaden a child's knowledge but in a discreet way because it isn't an overwhelming book to read. ( )

This book has great illustrations for use in class. Although the text complexity is much too low to use for my students, I use it in class as an example for assignments in which my students create children's books. ( )

So many great pictures in this book of the president just being a man. It would be a great book to show to kids and teach them about all the amazing things that President Roosevelt did while he was in office. A really great and inspiring story about a man who tried his best to change the world for the better. ( )
