Review

A seasoned author of non-fiction for young people has written a readable, informative and entertaining account of our country's First Ladies. Girls of about nine years old and perhaps their teachers and mothers as well may enjoy much of this anecdotal account offered in a conversational style and full of humorous illustrations with portraits that may not be quite as successful as the drawings. There is much American history here and readers may have their interest in past and current White House affairs increased by this lively non-fiction that does include a brief introduction to our present First Lady. It is gratifying to note what a mostly accomplished group of unique individuals these forty women are. Recommended.

Overall Book Score: very good
