Although polio left him wheelchair bound, Franklin Delano Roosevelt took office during the Great Depression and served as president during World War II. Elected four times, he spent thirteen years in the White House. How he led the country through tremendously difficult problems, much like the ones facing America today, makes for a timely and engrossing biography.

This book is been my kid’s favorite since day it arrived. So much, that I might need another copy as he has used and read existing book too much. He knows almost everything about FDR. He got it when he had just turned 6. Now he is 7. Book actually helped with reading skills as well. I give 7 stars to book if given option. In fact all books in this series are awesome and inspiring for young kids.

It had good information in it but wasn’t very interesting to him. It just didn’t keep his attention. When I made him read it he always learned something new but this wasn’t a book he wanted to pick up in his own. For a nine year old boy he reads a great amount, an hour or more everyday and he said he really didn’t like this book.
