A Christmas Tree in the White House

32 pp. | Holt | October, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-8050-5076-0 $$15.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Alexandra Wallner. President Theodore Roosevelt's two determined sons smuggle a small Christmas tree into the White House despite their father's wishes to model conservation practices for the American people. Flat, detailed illustrations mark this playful anecdote gleaned from history. An informative afterword separates fact from fiction and includes a large black-and-white photograph of the Roosevelt family.
