“Father called it “Running riot.”
Alice called it “eating up the world.””
This is quote is in the preface and within the book, for good reason! What one calls riot another calls eating the world up. I think more people should be eating the world up rather than worrying about causing a riot. I think everyone could learn from Alice, and live life to the fullest!
I loved this book! It reminded my of Alice in Wonderland, the way she was not like anyone else and went on her own path and not the path made for her. Alice seems so fun and full of life! I also thought it was funny that she drove her father crazy!
pickThis book about the “wild child” in the white house. Alice, Theodore Roosevelt‘s daughter and how she “ate up the world.” She wanted the most out of life and gave her father a run for his money. She was magnificent from what I can see! She always pushing her fathers buttons and boundaries.
This book won the Robert F. Sibert Informational Book Award!

pickWhat to Do about Alice? written by Barbara Kerley. About President Theodore Roosevelt's daughter, Alice who is very independent and unique.

This book reminds me of myself in a way! I feel like I too am sometimes not understood for the way I do things in life but it usually works out in the end like it did for Alice! Great book to show kids because it expresses the value of differences
