A Fine Little Bad Boy: Quentin Roosevelt in the White House
Based on the true escapades of Quentin Roosevelt (1897-1918), this big-hearted picture book about a boy who craves his famous father's attention resounds with the joyful mischief of childhood.
Quentin may be the “littlest Roosevelt,” but he soon rivals his father, the famous Teddy, as the biggest personality in the White House of the early 1900s. From roller skating in the halls to shooting spitballs, and from swimming in the fountains to taking a pony for an elevator ride, this “fine little bad boy” takes full advantage of his father’s long tenure as president, believing the good times will never end. When he learns the sad truth that the Roosevelts will have to move out, his spirits aren’t dampened for long; he still has his father, and the two of them can be fine little bad boys together!
