5.0 out of 5 starsImpressive Biography for Kids
By Nicola Mansfield on September 27, 2010
Format: Paperback
Reason for Reading: Read aloud to 10yo as part of our history curriculum.

A very impressive biography for juveniles! The publisher's recommended age is 7-9 but this could be read aloud to as young as 5 and is suitable for up to 12. Presented in an easy reader type format with large print, the book would also be perfect for reluctant readers; the text is probably around a level 5.

With the minimal number of pages, this is obviously a brief look at Roosevelt's life but it manages to cover all bases from birth to death with unexpectedly rich content. Written in a main narrative with captioned photographs and occasional sidebars to add extra related information, we not only are given the major details but the interesting tidbits as well. The book is heavily illustrated with photographs and the illustration that lead to the famous Teddy Bear story. Each chapter moves forward in Roosevelt's life so not one aspect gets any greater attention than the others, thus giving his political life and hunting expeditions about equal time.

I'm impressed with the way history has been handled here. Obviously with Theodore Roosevelt the (now) controversial subject of his hunting is going to be at issue, but this biography treats it within its historical context without making any judgmental calls upon the practice and explaining the "sport" from the era's point of view. Then it goes on to explain how this is a thing of the past and what our modern era does to protect animals. This fair, non-revisionist approach to history is important to me and not easily found in books aimed at children.

We both really enjoyed what we found out about Teddy Roosevelt and highly recommend this brief but informative biography.

4.0 out of 5 starsBiograhpy, not hero worship
By ARM K. on July 7, 2005
Format: Paperback
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.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat for a school report
By Melissa on May 17, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This book hits all of the highlights of Teddy Roosevelt's amazing life. It is written in a manner that second graders could comprehend it, if they are read to. Third grade on up can read independently. It was an interesting book for adults, as well as kids. We used it for a report and were pleased. (Be sure to note that it is less than 50 pages.)

5.0 out of 5 starsGrandson is a Teddy Roosevelt fan
By L. Galway on June 28, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This is an excellent look at President Theodore Roosevelt, written for a child's understanding. My 6 year old grandson is consumed with learning about our presidents and, by extrapolation, the entire governmental system. (Oh, dear!) Although he can't read it all by himself, he loves to be read to.

I would highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 starsTime For Kids Books
By C. Ford on February 25, 2006
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
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!

5.0 out of 5 starsPerfect for a second grader to read independently
By RunningMom on March 5, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Our daughter enjoyed the pictures, details, and clear text of this book. Needed to read a presidential biography for a school project, this was just the right level of difficulty for a very middle of the road reader.

My son picked Teddy Roosevelt for his 2nd grade biography book report and I wanted him to have a 'just right' book to read. This book was perfect! I was very happy to find it on Amazon and I give it five stars. He loved reading it and we both learned a lot about Teddy Roosevelt too!
