My first "Who Was" book. Is it just the Kindle edition, or is the typography very basic? I know these are very popular in libraries, but this just had a boring look to it, and was written in a somewhat monotonous manner. For example, the first paragraph of Jean Fritz's Bully for You, Teddy Roosevelt is packed with information, but is ten times more interesting!
There is a lot of material to cover with Teddy Roosevelt; no wonder so many of the biographies of him are multiple books!

Reading level ages 8-12 years.
Recommended for: kids who have a biography project.
Detailing his many achievements as well as covering his life, this is a biography of one of our most interesting presidents. This book covers his early childhood to his death and all of the important and fascinating facts about him. Did you know Roosevelt’s sons name was Kermit? Or that he won the Nobel Peace Prize?
This is more a review of the Who Was?Is? series as a whole. This series which at the moment contains ninety-one books, is a perfect resource for tweens who need help with their projects and homework, or who are just interested in biographies. Formatted as a chapter book, the book flies by for the reader and is always covering interesting facts, unknown and well known. There are also sketches amongst the pages, but not large enough to be illustrations. They do a great job of highlighting the information and not taking over the entire book.
I chose Theodore Roosevelt because he is someone I am familiar with, and was pleasantly surprised to find a vast amount of interesting information about him in such a tiny source. This series is also trustworthy in terms of information and any librarian/teacher should feel comfortable giving this to a tween to read for correct information.
