Synopsis
A biography of the 26th President’s childhood years!
Before Teddy Roosevelt became famous as a statesman, naturalist, colonel in the Spanish-American War, and twenty-sixth president of the United States, he was a young boy called “Teedie” who struggled with terrible asthma. Overcoming his illness was a major battle in Teedie’s young life and his determination to make himself strong and healthy set the course for his amazing accomplishments to come.
"The book provides a salient introduction to the boy who would become a colorful president. A final note sketches Roosevelt's adult years. A solid choice for independent readers or for sharing aloud with children."
—School Library Journal
