What to do About Alice?


Running a country keeps a President very busy. But Teddy Roosevelt also had a problem no other President had—his young daughter, Alice. Alice was eager for new adventures and wanted to experience everything in life. She was a tomboy, not a prim and proper young lady as girls were supposed to be at that time. Her father called it “running riot;” she called it “eating up the world.”
Whether it was introducing White House visitors to her pet snake or sledding down the White House stairs, Alice’s actions caused lots of excitement! by Mackin Booktalk

There are many great books about Teddy Roosevelt, but this one shows his character as a father. This is a great biography about a beloved family that once lived in the White House.
