(3) K-3 Illustrated by Adam Gustavson. Alice, President Theodore Roosevelt's eldest daughter, was famous for her unconventional behavior. In this picture book biography, Kimmelman's lively text and Gustavson's spirited oil paintings capture the personality of a woman who refused to follow the rules (though the story here is just as much about President Roosevelt's accomplishments as it is about Alice). A brief author's note provides further biographical information.

(1) K-3 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.
