Lousia: The Life of Lousia May Alcott
By: Yona Zeldis McDonough
Illustrated by: Bethanne Anderson
Louisa May Alcott is one of my favorite authors. After reading her novel Little Women, I was hooked. To read a biography about her brought an answer to the many questions I had about this famous author. One thing I really enjoyed about this particular biography was that it was a full one. It contained information from the very beginning of her life until her death in 1888. The pictures brought the story to life and it was very easy to understand. Another thing I enjoyed was the section in the back entitled: The World According to Louisa May Alcott. This is where she had direct quotes on certain things in life. Also included in the book were a couple poems she wrote and a timeline. Even a recipe and interesting facts page was included. I feel that this would definitely be a biography I would be interested in using with my children. It was fun to read but also contained a great deal of information..
