As a ten-year-old, Teddy Roosevelt, the future twenty-sixth president of the United States, spent a year abroad with his family. These brief journal entries, edited from the original diary that Teddy kept during that time, capture the young boy's sense of fun, as well as provide a glimpse of his family's privileged lifestyle. Handsome illustrations arranged in panels add accurate period detail and interest. Notes on keeping a journal are appended.
