About this ebook

“A delightful, educational spin on history—and plenty of jokes,” said School Library Journal.

“Sheer joy,” praised Booklist in a starred review.

Finalist for the 2019 Excellence in Graphic Literature Award in Middle Grade Nonfiction

U.S. history comes to life like never before in this full-color graphic novel! We all know that Theodore Roosevelt protected the environment and was the cousin of President Franklin Roosevelt. But did you also know that he was the inspiration for the teddy bear, wrote adventure books, and once gave a speech with a gunshot wound in his chest?

Wimpy Kid meets the Who Was... series in these hilarious new graphic novels—where the history is real and the jokes are fake—from New York Times bestselling comic book author Fred Van Lente and award-winning cartoonist Ryan Dunlavey.

Historically accurate and highly entertaining, Action Presidents’ bold and hilarious comic-style illustration is perfect for curious minds, filled with timelines, maps, charts, and more, readers will keep learning until the last page.

Fred Van Lente

Fred Van Lente is the New York Times bestselling author of comic books like Cowboys & Aliens and Marvel Zombies. He lives in Brooklyn, like every other writer on the planet (by law), with his wife, Crystal, and some mostly ungrateful cats. His previous funny nonfiction comics with Ryan were Action Philosophers! (named a YALSA Great Graphic Novels for Teens by the American Library Association) and The Comic Book History of Comics (which Fred’s mom really likes). He does not own a time machine but will be the first on line to buy one as soon as someone gets around to inventing them.

    Didn't learn mush that I already knew, but I still enjoyed this book. These are clearly for kids. They didn't talk about his daughter Alice as much. I know there is a bio all about her I kind of want still. I still like the fact these show both pros and cons of the presidents

    Theodore Roosevelt gets the superhero treatment in a slam-bang biography for children that zips past his most egregious sins to glorify his macho posturing. It's problematic and jingoistic, but it's also fun to see this colorful figure burst off the page like the living cartoon he was.
