Critic reviews

So many worthy nonfiction books for this age group have good intentions but fail to step beyond simple preaching with boring line drawings. This one succeeds, thanks to its interesting choice of role models, gorgeous colourful illustrations, a sense of humour and sharp language that informs without patronising
Astounding facts and incredible artwork reveal some of the most brilliant women who have shaped our world (The Bookseller: Special)
The book is engagingly presented, with colour illustrations and captivating text mingling to produce a very informative and hugely enjoyable read (Parents in Touch)
A most fabulously insightful book that should be read by all of your sons and daughters (The Picture Book Blogger)
An exceptional read, it is one of my favourite non-fiction books of the year and it deserves to be in every primary school library (Book lover Jo)
All stars
Most relevant
I should have paid more attention to the detail, on the face of it this should be a great book about amazing women, yet the reality is a short, and I mean short, description of a list of fabulous women’s achievements. I was expecting far greater information than this 30 odd minutes. Bitterly disappointed, what a waste of an opportunity.

Such a disappointment
