Time for Kids: Theodore Roosevelt: The Adventurous President

An excellent series for kids. We have been very happy with every volume we have purchased.

Time For Kids Books

I purchased several of the Time Life For Kids books and they are great. I have 9-year-old twin boys who are in 4th grade, and they love them! I would strongly suggest these books for any children who are interested in learning more about a specific legend or if learning about a specific legend is required for class work, book reports, etc. Great price too!

This book provides a balanced view of TR rather than simply praising his accomplishments in a glowing way. Example: his motives for the Spanish-American war are presented as self-serving in part. Good photos and reading level is high-interest compared to some materials aimed at this age group.
