Description/Notes
As a young boy, 'Teedie' Roosevelt was frequently ill, but worked hard to become strong and fit while also avidly reading and pursuing his love of natural history. The first in a planned series of picture storybooks about 'turning points' in the lives of young presidents, this book focuses on Teddy Roosevelt, whose battle with asthma reinforces his determination to make himself strong and healthy. Full color. 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 had wonderful adventures with his brother and sister and even started a museum in his attic. But he also struggled with terrible asthma. Overcoming his illness was the major battle of his young life . . . and his determination to make himself strong and healthy set the course for his amazing accomplishments to come. First in a planned series of picture storybooks about 'turning points' in the lives of the young Presidents, this book is written by the in-comparable author of So You Want to Be President? and whimsically illustrated by Matthew Faulkner.
