Action Presidents #3: Theodore Roosevelt! by Fred Van Lente

"A delightful, educational spin on history--and plenty of
jokes," said School Library Journal.


"Sheer joy," praised Booklist in a
starred review.


Finalist for the 2019 Excellence in Graphic
Literature Award in Middle Grade Nonfiction


U.S. history comes to life like never before in this full-color graphic novel! We all know
that Theodore Roosevelt protected the environment and was the cousin of
President Franklin Roosevelt. But did you also know that he was the inspiration
for the teddy bear, wrote adventure books, and once gave a speech with a
gunshot wound in his chest?


Wimpy Kid meets the Who Was... series in these hilarious new
graphic novels--where the history is
real and the jokes are fake--from New York Times bestselling
comic book author Fred Van Lente and award-winning cartoonist Ryan Dunlavey.


Historically accurate and highly entertaining, Action Presidents' bold and hilarious
comic-style illustration is perfect for curious minds, filled with timelines,
maps, charts, and more, readers will keep learning until the last page.

Fred Van Lente is the #1 New York Times bestselling, award-winning writer of comics like Archer & Armstrong (Harvey Award nominee, Best Series), Action Philosophers! (American Library Association Best Graphic Novel for Teens), and Cowboys & Aliens (with Andrew Foley), the basis for the feature film. His many other titles include Resurrectionists, The Comic Book History of Comics, The Incredible Hercules (with Greg Pak), Taskmaster, Marvel Zombies and The Amazing Spider-Man. He lives in Brooklyn with his wife, the playwright Crystal Skillman, and some mostly ungrateful cats.

Full-time cartoonist and part-time scout leader Ryan Dunlavey spends every day and most nights drawing cool and fun stuff for the worlds' most charming and attractive art directors. He's also the artist of the award-winning graphic novels Dirt Candy: A Cookbook (with chef Amanda Cohen), Action Philosophers, Action Presidents, and The Comic Book History of Comics (all with Fred Van Lente) and the comic strip Li'l Classix (with Grady Hendrix). On the rare occasions when he emerges from his 100% cat-free home studio (allergies) he can be seen in the company of graphic designer Liza Pagano and their two children as they wrangle about New York City on various food, culture, and nature-centric adventures.
