Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 2-Known as the "First Lady of the World," Eleanor Roosevelt's life is best characterized by her kindness, leadership, and determination despite periods of sorrow and tragedy from childhood through adulthood. Her contributions to the American people are endless. She campaigned successfully for Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Governorship of New York in 1928 and also for his U.S. Presidency in 1932, 1936, 1940 and 1944. Even after FDR's death, she continued her political activities as United Nations representative and chairperson of the Commission on Human Rights. The oral presentation by Randye Kaye of the book by David Adler (Holiday, 1991) allows young children sufficient time to follow the text and provides a dramatic interpretation of the written word. The featured highlights of Eleanor Roosevelt's life give students a glimpse into her background as well as a capsule view of American history. The accompanying teacher's guide offers comprehension questions, vocabulary words, and topics for research. This biographical study will act as a springboard for further research in social studies, personal relationships, and character development. Eleanor Roosevelt offers many words of wisdom, but one statement will make a lasting impression, present a challenge and offer hope to the young: "You must do the thing you think you cannot do!" A worthwhile and significant addition to any elementary collection.

From Kirkus Reviews
Continuing his very brief biographies, Adler presents the essential facts here in a style so succinct that it can verge on parody (``Franklin's mother Sara often told Franklin and Eleanor what to do...Eleanor didn't complain, but later she refused to be bossed around''). Casilla's skillfully composed watercolors capture the pathos in many of the situations, though his figures are sometimes wooden and he emphasizes Eleanor's tendency to appear unprepossessing. Adequate but, of necessity, superficial. (Biography/Picture book. 5-9) -- Copyright ©1991, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
