Duane G. Jundt reviews six children’s books on Theodore Roosevelt for readers ages four and up. The titles include a novel, graphic novel, a large format picture book, and biographies. Jundt assesses each work with an emphasis on each title’s attention to historical accuracy, and he highlights the illustrations and their effectiveness in conveying the story found in each book. Jundt finds the oversized picture book biography of Alice Roosevelt Longworth, What to Do About Alice?, the best title in the group due largely to the illustrations of Ed Fotheringham.
The essay is populated with seven illustrations from Cheryl Harness’s The Remarkable Rough-Riding Life of Theodore Roosevelt and the Rise of Empire America.
