Being Teddy Roosevelt

90 pp. | Farrar | March, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-0-374-30657-1 $16.00
(2) 4-6 Illustrated by R. W. Alley. Riley O'Rourke may be forgetful, but he knows what he wants more than anything: to play the saxophone. Unfortunately, the rental fee is more than his single mom can handle. While researching Teddy Roosevelt, Riley is inspired by the president's life, which ends up providing the answer. Bully for Mills for writing a timely, comfortable school story filled with likable fourth graders.
