Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 4-6-- A succinct look at one of the most beloved first ladies that's full of facts and fine-quality reproductions. Quiri adequately covers the basics of her subject's childhood, first marriage, widowhood, and eventual remarriage to one of America's more prominent presidents. She also includes, commendably, facts about the Madisons' lives after they left Washington. Quite a few human-interest items are given, such as the woman's love of gardening and her pet macaw that she kept at the White House. An attractive and worthwhile addition to biography collections. --Amy Nunley, Toledo-Lucas County Public Library, OH

This review is from: Dolley Madison (First Book) (Library Binding)

This book is easy to understand well at the same time gives loads of info. It describes Dolley's life from beginning to end and it helped me to understand not only the fourth first lady but also the events of her time. This book desribes how she lost her first husband and sons. It also desribes how she was disowed for marring out of her faith to James MAdison. This book is worth reading because it is informational and entertaning.
