Welcome to Litsy!

I love Millard‘s narrative nonfiction writing style - she really engages the reader in the topics about which she writes. In the tagged book, she chronicles former President Teddy Roosevelt‘s exploration of the Amazons. Along with his son and others, the group wants to investigate the River of Doubt, notorious for its deadly predators, both human and animal. #Fever becomes a deadly weapon, too...will the group survive? True story. #Movember #NFNov

“From the time she was a little girl, Alice ate up the world.“

I would use this book in my classroom because it teaches gender roles and bias but it shows Alice's perseverance through it all and will be a good lesson for young children to understand and develop their own beliefs.

What to Do about Alice? written by Barbara Kerley. About President Theodore Roosevelt's daughter, Alice who is very independent and unique. With the format of the book, the words move with the illustrations on the page. Some pages had a lot of space between the lines of words. Author's note at the end provides factual evidence.
