Praise for Bully for You, Teddy Roosevelt!

★ "Fritz's lively style is perfectly suited to the daunting task of capturing in print the energetic personality of our twenty-sixth president. Readers will immediately be drawn into the drama of Teddy Roosevelt's life .... Fritz included many details about his childhood that are sure to intrigu children." —Hom Book (starred review)

"[Fritz] begins here by asking, 'What did Teddy Roosevelt want to do?' She then energetically supplies some interesting answers. A vivid study." —The New York Times Book Review

★"The real strength of this book is its look at Roosevelt's spirit. It communicates how his determination and drive changed both politics and the presidency, and how those changes helped create what we know as the modern presidency .... an outstanding portrait of one of America's favorite characters that should have a place in all children's collections. Bully for this book!" —School Library Journal (starred review)

"This colorful, idiosyncratic President, long a biographers' favorite, has never been portrayed with more beguiling wit, precision, and honesty. An excellent book, one of Fritz's best." —Kirkus Reviews
