A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

Praise for Little Author in the Big Woods This condensation of the long, peripathetic life of Laura Ingalls Wilder will intrigue fans of the Little House series. - Kirkus Reviews This biography draws parallels between Wilder's life and writing, featuring both hardships and joys of her experiences as a pioneer in the late 1800s and early 1900s . . . 'Little House' fans will find a lot to love here. - School Library Journal Praise for Louisa: The Life of Louisa May Alcott A Junior Library Guild Selection McDonough, appropriately for the audience, places the development of Louisa's character over literary exegesis, and her words are harmoniously both accessible and expressive. . . . While too dense for the littlest of women (and men), middle-graders will be charmed by this first look at one of America's most beloved authors. --Kirkus Review Praise for The Doll Shop Downstairs A 2010 Cooperative Children's Book ChoiceA 2012 New York State Reading Association (NYSRA) Charlotte Award Master List's Selection* Mix one part Rumer Godden's The Story of Holly and Ivy and many parts Sydney Taylor's All-of-a-Kind Family and you create a standout family-and-doll story. --Kirkus Reviews,starred review* McDonough gives us a wholly original story. . . . Dolls and doll parts, a resourceful Mama and Papa and an appealing heroine and her sisters are all deftly drawn. . . . The Doll Shop Downstairs will become a classic. --Jewish Book World, starred review
