11.  A summary about the book and how you will use it in your classroom.

       Alice Roosevelt is the daughter of the very important man by the name of Teddy Roosevelt.  Teddy Roosevelt was one courageous man but when it came to his daughter he was hopeless.  Alice was always ready for adventure and fun she was not worried about being the proper young lady her father wanted her to be.  No matter what obstacles life gave Alice, she enjoyed life.  As Alice grew older she became more interested in her fathers work, she traveled around the world to offer her services.  This freedom gave Alice me opportunities to “eat life up” by gambling and driving fast. Alice became an American icon to women and one of her fathers most trusted advisors.  I would use this book in first, second, or third grades the book has a lot of historical details and a view of Teddy Roosevelt from a personal perspective.  Teddy Roosevelt is a very important man in American history and this would be a great book to read to students that are learning about him.
