Make your Mark

This book should be in every library (school and public) in America. It has gorgeous art work that captivates children but is very appealing to adults, too. You can look at the pages for hours and keep finding new details. Very interesting story, too-- I learned some things I didn't know. I would like to see 1 of these books on every President.

Beautiful Children's Book

I ordered this book right away because I am such a history buff--I love reading this book to my children. It is a wonderful way to introduce them to a historic figure such as President Roosevelt, and it brings him down to earth for them to see that he was a child once too. The illustrations are absolutely gorgeous! Beautiful colors and imagery, overall I give this book two thumbs up! What a talented pairing of author and illustrator. I will look for more books from this series.
