my four year old son loves this story of a wild unruly girl who wants to eat the world. Alice is portrayed as a smart independent, spoiled woman with a life full of adventure. This book certainly made me curious to read more about her life. ( )

Quick-Witted, intelligent, an excellent leader, Theodore Roosevelt could control almost anything but his spirited daughter Alice. This book focuses on Alice's early years. It was said that Alice "Ate up the World." She did indeed gobble up whatever came to her path. She was not a dainty, lovely society charmer. She was smart, boisterous and not afraid to speak her mind.

Her father admonished her when the newspapers highlighted her actions and travels on the first page.A strong multi-tasker, she could handle most anything that came her way.

This lovely illustrated book shows today's women that to be a wall flower gets you no where, but rather to present yourself with humor and self confidence won many people who wanted very much to hear her speak, and to learn how her father dealt with her.

To her amazing credit, Alice was way ahead of her time. She cared little regarding the opinion of others. ( )

This book brilliantly tells the story of Alice Roosevelt and her upbringing as a outgoing and "peculiar" young girl. Growing up with her father, Theodore Roosevelt, he always wondered "what to do about Alice." She was not the typical lady like woman at the time, which arose lots of concerns from her father and everyone else. Though by the end of the novel she successfully shows how she can still maintain her quirky and fun personality while be successful in politics alongside her father. Overall this book was a fun and entertaining way to tell of influential women in history. ( )

Such a cute story about President Theodore Roosevelt's daughter, Alice. She was extremely curious about the world from the beginning. Alice caused "trouble" for her father her whole life, but she did it in style. She was different from the norm, she didn't want people feeling sorry for her. She was a light to everyone around her, and certainly inspiring. Her story is so fun and expressive, she seems like the kind of girl I would want to be friends with. ( )

Theodore Roosevelt could handle anything- except his daughter Alice. Wanting to "eat the world up," Alice was a rule breaker who defied people's expectations and broke the mold of what was expected of women during that time. She taught herself multiple subjects, traveled the world, and was an advisor to her father during both of his presidencies.

With vibrant illustrations and fun examples of the adventures Alice went on, this story is a great piece to demonstrate to girls that they can think outside the box and do what they want, not just what people want them to do. I think this book is empowering for all genders and ages, as it tells people to follow the beat of their own drum and get as much out of life as you can. ( )
