(3) K-3 Illustrated by Britt Spencer. This picture book biography focuses on FDR's boyhood. It describes how specific people and events in early life helped shape his presidency, particularly his commitment to social programs. Though the text's focus on Roosevelt's bourgeois hobbies (sailing, horseback riding) may alienate some readers, the story gives a human face to this historical figure. Lively caricatures don't go over the top. Bib.
Reviewer: Betty Carter
