内容紹介
A heartwarming Christmas story with Americana appeal.
President Theodore Roosevelt was an ardent conservationist. He wouldn't allow a Christmas tree in the White House, because he felt that it was wrong to cut down a healthy pine. When he finds that two of his sons have managed to sneak a small tree into their bedroom, he marches them off to see the Chief Forester. But the President is in for a surprise. According to the Chief Forester, cutting down some small trees allows the larger ones to grow, and so . . . the White House Christmas tree is saved!
This delightful book shows that kids will be kids, even when they live at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue!

Good job of "personalizing" a White House Christmas
1999/11/2

This book was excellent for 4-8 year olds to personalize Christmas at their house and at the first family's house. It also introduced a real life president and how carrying out his duties affected his home life. My son saw this as his first 'history lesson' of sorts. As an extra bonus it just so happens that one of President Roosevelt's sons was named Quentin. My son will remember this fact because that's his name and my husband, his dad's name happens to be Theodore!

Accessible Story Weaving Christmas and History

This is an interesting Christmas book for young children. The story is played against the backdrop of the Roosevelt White House (Teddy's), and an apparently true story involving the conservationist president's decision not to allow a cut tree into the White House because he want's to be a good example for Americans.
Of course TR's notoriously rebellious brood tries to outfox their dad by secretly procuring a pine tree and stashing it away, decorated, in a bedroom closet. When discovered, TR marches the boys down to speak with Gifford Pinchot, his head of the US Forestry service. Pinchot says that sometimes cutting small trees can actually be beneficial to forests as it gives room for other trees to thrive and grow.
With that OK, the live tree (although a small one in keeping with the chief of forestry's direction) is again welcome into the White House and is part of a festive christmas celebration.
This story interests my children. Besides the Christmas hook, it involes the president and the White House, concepts they are familiar with. It also teaches a conservation lesson. Good book for the 4-7 set.

I ordered this book for a school project so I was relieved that it came so quickly. Condition is okay for a used book.
