- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Didn'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
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Theodore 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.
