(3) K-3 Illustrated by Larry Day. This glowing biography of FDR focuses on his bravery and determination in overcoming his physical handicap to become president and lead America through the Great Depression. Jurmain's upbeat prose is friendly, folksy, and accessible to young children; Day's pencil and watercolor with gouache illustrations are pleasingly detailed and evocative. A solid addition to Roosevelt biographies, particularly as an introductory text. Bib.
