Teddy Roosevelt Was a Moose? (Wait! What?)

By Dan Gutman
Teddy Roosevelt Was a Moose? (Wait! What?) by Dan Gutman digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

From the best-selling author of My Weird School: a new entry in the offbeat and engaging biography series that casts fresh light on high-interest historic figures.

Did you know that Theodore Roosevelt was shot before a rally, and went on to give his speech with the bullet in his chest? Or that he skinny-dipped in the Potomac River? Bet you didn’t know that he had a zebra, a lion, and a one-legged rooster at the White House! Siblings Paige and Turner have collected some of the most unusual and surprising facts about the larger-than-life president, from his childhood and his Rough Rider days to his rise to politics and his complicated presidential legacy.

Narrated by the two spirited siblings and animated by Allison Steinfeld’s upbeat illustrations, Teddy Roosevelt is an authoritative, accessible, and one-of-a-kind biography infused with Dan Gutman’s signature zany sense of humor.

Thinking Face“Teddy Roosevelt Was a Moose is the first book in the Wait? What? series by Dan Gutman that I've read. Also available are books about Muhammad Ali, Amelia Earheart, and Albert Einstein. This was a good children's book that introduces young readers to our 26th President. It served as a good refresher for me, as I haven't read about Roosevelt since AP US History in 11th grade. I am for sure not a part of the target demographic for this book, but I feel like it contained a lot of good information. Teddy Roosevelt is often in the top 5-10 of Best Presidents lists as a result of his various accomplishments. This book does point out that while he did do a lot of good as Commander in Chief, he was far from perfect. I think that this is important to include when learning about this president. Thank you to Netgalley for providing me with a free digital copy of this title in exchange for an honest review.”
