Duane G. Jundt reviews six children’s books on Theodore Roosevelt and one on Ethel Derby Roosevelt published between 2003 and 2006 and intended for readers ages five to fourteen. Jundt looks at the historical errors and shortcomings of the titles, and he emphasizes the importance of the illustrations to these works aimed at young readers. Jundt also highlights the strengths of each title, and he notes where some works fall short not by what they include but by the topics they fail to address. A photograph of Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt reading to two of her sons accompanies the review essay.
