Customer Reviews

great read for girls

This book gives good factual information in an entertaining way. Girls will like this book and learn a little history too!

Three for the price of one

This is a must have book for everyone! A lovingly crafted new biography which is really three books in one. On each page there are three parts, the story text, a positive, one sentence summation, and different contextual timelines. This wonderful combination means that the book can be used for a storytime, a school report, and as a reference book for social and cultural history. These three elements create a broad appeal for many different age groups and reading abilities. The illustrations are lovely and strong at the same time, much like Margaret Chase Smith herself. How refreshing to have such a vibrant and timeless biography!
