My Name Is Not Alexander by Jennifer Fosberry
About The Book:
"Good Morning Alexander," the father said. "It's time for breakfast, and then let's play ball." "My name is not Alexander!" said the little boy. "Then who is sleeping in my son's bed?" asked the father. "I am Theodore, one of the greatest, grandest presidents who ever was!" "Well Theodore, park yourself here and save your energy for today's game." So begins the day for Alexander, an imaginative little boy who explores the innovative men who influenced and shaped our world. Travel through history with: * Theodore Roosevelt * Thomas Edison * Chief Joseph * Jackie Robinson * Fred Astaire * and of course, Daddy...
My Thoughts:
A very cute book, and I love love love the illustrations by Mike Litwin. The pictures really help move the story right along, and Callan really enjoyed this book. We've read at least once since the day we received it! Five stars!

I'm going to have to pick this one up for my son. I think he'll really enjoy it. Though I suspect I'll be picking it up from the library first. Thanks for pointing me in it's direction!
