A biography of the life of Theodore Roosevelt up to the time of his presidency has illustrations that are as interesting as the well-written text.

Teaching Ideas:
Readers can trace early traits and interests that prepared Rossevelt to be President. Learners may want to choose a peiod of his life to do further research, e.g. "rough riders." The illustrations invite discussion of how the art expands the text. How Roosevelt overcame his physical limitations and personal tragedies makes a good discussion/writing topic.
