Book Description

October 6, 1997 8 and upPortraits of Little Women
Beautiful Amy March, the youngest March sister, is a talented artist.  Everyone praises her lifelike portraits.  The one person she can't draw is herself.  So when a photographer's studio opens in town, Amy is thrilled.  Now her pretty blond curls and piercing blue eyes can be captured forever in a photograph.

A photograph costs quite a bit of money--more than she has, and more than her parents can give her.  Amy thinks of a clever way to come up with the money...and soon she has enough.  But she decides to spend her savings on a gift for her father--a gift that will warm his heart when he's far away from home, and that ultimately gives Amy an unexpected gift in return.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book!, June 5, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Amy's Story (Portraits of Little Women) (Hardcover)
I loved this book! This was one of the PORTRAITS OF LITTLE WOMEN which tell about the March sisters when they were ten years old. Amy wants her photograph taken, and decides to save up her money so she can get it taken. Then her father has to go fight in the Civil War, and Amy decides to get him a gift instead - one that will cheer him up when he's far away from home. I also read MEG'S STORY, JO'S STORY, BETH'S STORY, MEG MAKES A FRIEND, and BETH MAKES A FRIEND and I can't wait to read JO MAKES A FRIEND and AMY MAKES A FRIEND.

3.0 out of 5 stars Okay but kind of boring., February 12, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Amy's Story (Portraits of Little Women) (Hardcover)
This book was okay but kind of boring. Some of the other books in this series were better. Still, I guess it was a nice story. This series is about the Little Women sisters when they were 10.
