What To Do About Alice?: How Alice Roosevelt Broke the Rules, Charmed the World, and Drove Her Father Teddy Crazy!
Barbara Kerley (2008), 48 pages
Illustrated by Edwin Fotheringham
Audience: 1st Grade - 5th Grade
Alice Roosevelt was a baby when her mother passed away. Her father, Theodore Roosevelt, missed his first wife dearly, but married again and had more children. Alice didn't feel she ever really belonged to the family and was a challenging child to raise. Another title for the book is How Alice Roosevelt broke the Rules, charmed The World, and drove her Father Teddy Crazy! She was taught at home, wanted a pet monkey, and wanted to wear pants which no proper lady would be seen in. Alice was a tomboy. Because Alice was the daughter of a president, she did presentations and was supposed to act proper. Enjoy this story of beloved Alice. The world loved her!
