review 1: It is amazing how much information is conveyed in so few lines with vivid full page illustrations. Doreen Rappaport's picture-book-formatted biography covers Theodore Roosevelt's life from birth to death, and incorporates numerous quotes by him. The illustrations by C.F. Payne seem to be larger than life, just like Teddy Roosevelt was. This could be used as an introduction in classes from third grade on up. It may entice readers to try more in-depth biographies of Theodore Roosevelt. It is a beautiful package.
review 2: Rappaport's bio finally brings across the gregarious personality of Roosevelt that made him such a magnetic and memorable figure. I've always thought Roosevelt was interesting, but Rappaport's writing really emphasizes his forcefulness and h... moreis enthusiasm for life. His set backs and perhaps less-than-popular decisions are all there, as is his rich family life. A great introduction to a truly fascinating figure - the cover says it all. less
