Krull, Kathleen A Kid's Guide to America’s First Ladies, 238 pgs. NON-FICTION. HarperCollins, 2017. $16.99 Content: G.
This book has 2-3 page biographies on the United States forty First
Ladies. Throughout the book there are
interesting facts about the time the ladies were in the White House as well as
big events that they helped their President husband’s face. Each chapter has a bit of backstory and the
social issues that the ladies cared about.
I thought it was fun to read about all the First Ladies in chronological
order and some of the facts were gossipy and interesting, but I had a hard time
with the judgmental tone of the author.
I wanted to like this book but it felt like Krull wasn’t presenting just
the facts, she was interpreting history with a biased take.
It just rubbed me wrong.
