Wonderful Book

I am teaching a unit on great leaders and citizens. This book is perfect because it is precise enough that it can be read as a read-aloud, but it is also detailed enough that one can find at least 27 qualities or traits about Teddy Roosevelt. The illustrations are also amazing. They are extremely realistic and capture Teddy's personality.

Wonderful intro to TR

Second in the series of books on great Americans by former Oklahoma Gov. Frank Keating. Truly one of the most amazing people in American history, TR overcame a sickly childhood to become a robust and active man. His life is part of our country's history and he truly was a man for all seasons. The illustrations by Oklahoma artist Mike Wimmer are detailed and colorful and bring TR's incredible story to life. The book makes a great gift for kids, but adults will like it too. Highly recommended......
