written text offers a basic biographical narrative with interesting
sidelights along the way. Readers will gain little sense of
Catherine's personality but a great deal of respect for the way she
handles herself and the pressures of life in Britain's royal
family.-- "Booklist"
Each of these books profiles a highly prominent woman, covering her
current role and accomplishments, past achievements, education, and
early years. Lots of photographs, captions, and text boxes help to

Michelle Obama and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge offer a concise
overview of each woman's life. . . .Young readers will appreciate
the variety of learning opportunities in this book--narrative text,
captioned photographs, maps, and sidebar notes/facts. While the
captions and sidebars support the narrative text, a struggling
reader could focus on one element as a scaffolding device, and then
perhaps build on their reading experience with more difficult text
offered in the book. . . .both are recommended for school and
public libraries for young readers.-- "VOYA"
