About the book (from the dust jacket)
Quentin and Archie can't understand why their father, Theodore Roosevelt chose to be President when he could have been a hunter, a cowboy, or a boxer. "Being President can practically ruin your whole life,' says Quentin. And so can living in the White House, where nearly everything is "government property. But Quentin and Archie have a wonderful life in the warm, happy Roosevelt households-at the White House and at the family's summer home at Oyster Bay, New York. There are many pets and much excitement-like the time Quentin sneaked Algonquin, the pony upstairs to see Archie, who was sick in bed with the measles. And there is always fun to be had with Father when he isn't busy running the country. Life was never dull for the Roosevelts, nor is this lively loving account written much as the real Quentin might have, but of course never did. Rocco Negri's vividly realistic illustrations show the Roosevelts in rich detail.
