Teddy Roosevelt was known to wrestle many horned beasts in his life and he often won. He was a regular in Spanish bullfights, and he would win respect from all over the world. Everyone from old people to rednecks would toss flowers at him when he beat the bulls. Children would often play "wrestle the horn from the bull" in the park (this game was a candidate for the national sport of Australia, but it was deemed too "stupid" by Australian prime minister Rupert Murdoch). His most famous moment was when he ripped off a horn and held it up for all to see. Children would often fantasize about this, and they would become fascinated with horns. As a result, Teddy began to think about writing a novel about his experiences. However, he needed to dumb it down for the children. He went on a hunting

  • Teddy Roosevelt was known to wrestle many horned beasts in his life and he often won. He was a regular in Spanish bullfights, and he would win respect from all over the world. Everyone from old people to rednecks would toss flowers at him when he beat the bulls. Children would often play "wrestle the horn from the bull" in the park (this game was a candidate for the national sport of Australia, but it was deemed too "stupid" by Australian prime minister Rupert Murdoch). His most famous moment was when he ripped off a horn and held it up for all to see. Children would often fantasize about this, and they would become fascinated with horns. As a result, Teddy began to think about writing a novel about his experiences. However, he needed to dumb it down for the children. He went on a hunting expedition around the world looking for the most ferocious beasts, and he would not stop until he had a beast for every letter of the alphabet. He decided to turn it into an alphabet book, and placed one horned beast for each animal because he believed that children could not read properly. He would also include sample horns in each book so as to satisfy the children.
