Review # 2 was written on 2017-06-15 00:00:00 Alex Garza Franklin Delano Roosevelt is a biography about our 32nd president, Franklin Delano Roosevelt. This books takes the reader through his life and experiences. With the ten informative chapters written by Russell Freedman, the reader will truly get a sense of what Franklin Delano Roosevelt's life was like while president of the United States of America, and while not. Is this person someone whos life will be of interest to young readers? I would have to say yes. However, for very young children, like Pre K-Grade 3, perhaps not. I would say biographies, in general, are more of a read for older children. Being that this biography is about a president, I think it does give some interest level for some students. The author definitely presents the person in a way that the readers can identify with Franklin Roosevelt. By giving some background on his children and stuff like that, the child can see that the president was once in their shoes. I believe this information is accurate and authentic because in the back of the book there is an acknowledgement page and it cites where the information was recieved. Lastly, I do believe that the author has written in an engaging style that maintains reader's attention. Not only is the text understandable, but there are a lot of pictures that keep the text visually appealing. I liked the book. Before I read it, I had not known very much about this president. By reading, I have become extremely informed of everything he had went through. I was never very good at history and reading about history, but this information and topic was put in an interesting way for me to comprehend and I found it easy to like. During a history lesson, you could use this in your clasroom. Either by having all the students read the book, or by copying certain chapters out of it, it can be a great book to use as a lesson. If you are having the students read it indivdually, they could write a book report of some sort.
