About this ebook
From the best-selling author of My Weird School: a new entry in the offbeat and engaging biography series that casts fresh light on high-interest historic figures. Did you know that Theodore Roosevelt was shot before a rally, and went on to give his speech with the bullet in his chest? Or that he skinny-dipped in the Potomac River? Bet you didn’t know that he had a zebra, a lion, and a one-legged rooster at the White House! Siblings Paige and Turner have collected some of the most unusual and surprising facts about the larger-than-life president, from his childhood and his Rough Rider days to his rise to politics and his complicated presidential legacy.
Narrated by the two spirited siblings and animated by Allison Steinfeld’s upbeat illustrations, Teddy Roosevelt is an authoritative, accessible, and one-of-a-kind biography infused with Dan Gutman’s signature zany sense of humor.

When is a biography not a biography? When it's fun! This nifty book covers all the territory that an ordinary biography does, but is presented in a way that is fun, interesting, and current. It presents the good, the sad, the unforgettable, and the stupid clearly and without judgement in a simple way that is easily understood by most people who are unfamiliar with TR's personal history. Suitable for middle skill ESL as well as school aged children. Excellent! I requested and received a free temporary e-book copy from W. W. Norton & Company/Norton Young Readers via NetGalley. Thank you!
