We really enjoyed this mostly non-fiction story about Theodore Roosevelt and his kids. Pres. Roosevelt didn't want to put a big tree in the white house because it was against his conservation ideas. His boys sneak a tree in through their window and there is a subsequent trip to the chief forester where the President, learns that it's o.k. to take some small trees.

Too bad the boys were disobedient and still got their way! But I liked how Teddy Roosevelt accepted his error and allow More...

A sweet story about when President T. Roosevelt banned Christmas tree from the White House his two younger sons snuck one in. A lil' bit of ecology, history, and fun makes a nice tale for Christmas. Based on a true story.

Very delightful story. the historical follow-up in the back is just as illuminating.

Ordered this on Amazon. It is a used copy someone bought in Washington DC(Can tell by the writing in the front cover). Such a fun story of two sons of Theodore Roosevelt who snuck in a tree to their bedroom in the White House.
