Franklin Roosevelt had experience from when he was younger until he made it to President. He was a smart and intelligent man who has a background of politics. His uncle was a role model when he went to boarding school. He also learned a lot from his parents. When his father became ill he had to

become the man of the family and his mother slowly, but surely left him alone.

It is a wonderful book which tells about life of Franklin Roosevelt. The story is written in a very nice way, but the illustrations of the book are stunning. Britt Spencer had done a fabulous job while illustrating the book. Many colours are used and the protagonist, Roosevelt is on every page. The

reader has to look for him.

This book is a great biographical read for children. It sets someone such as President Roosevelt on a level that they understand and can relate to. Hearing about a historical, political figure in his childhood days helps them find common ground. St. George writes in such a way that makes these big

figures childlike and reachable to a student. I enjoyed this because it gives a further and more in-depth study in a way into the life of a president. A student doesn't only learn what bills they passed, what they made into laws, or what titles they've had in life. A student also learns what got him to that point and as a child what led up to him being president. This would be a great book to use in a social studies lesson when studying the time period and presidency of Franklin Roosevelt. It would even be a fun intro into starting a social studies lesson.
