Illustrated by
Edwin Fotheringham.
Spunky and headstrong, Alice Roosevelt Longworth "was hungry to go places...do things." Readers follow her sneaking out at night; riding trays down the White House stairs; and diving, clothed, into a pool. With a palette emphasizing Alice Blue, her signature color, the illustrations match Alice's spirit with zigzag streaks, slanting figures, and circular spot art. An author's note is appended.
