Illustrated by
Matt Faulkner.
This picture book biography of Roosevelt's childhood, concentrating on his bouts with ill health, his father's strong influence, and his own tenaciousness, constitutes a vigorous story in six short chapters. St. George's skill in presenting information with a light touch keeps the pace lively, while Faulkner's gouache illustrations, with their near-caricatures of young Teedie, further animate the narrative. Bib.
