This original serial story, written by Colorado Kids Editor Mike Peterson, will offer stories of Roosevelt’s life, with historical photos and maps, geared for 4th through 8th grade.

It will include an overview of who Teddy Roosevelt was, his childhood, and his first trips out west. There will be several chapters about his efforts in conservation of natural resources, both land and water, plus interesting stories about his friends and his visits to Colorado. Chapters will be somewhat chronological but also thematic. Make sure you are subscribed to the eEdition so you don’t miss this great reading opporutnity for your students.
