Industry Reviews "Although grown-ups may smile at the fact that (along with other first ladies) Hillary Clinton is slyly reduced to a face on a teapot, ideology should not deter one from giving this primer. Because as the 'V is for Variety' page puts it, 'Who can count all the things girls can grow up to be?' Among them, a late-blooming pretty-good children's book writer." New York Times Book Review - Rebecca Pepper Sinkler (11/16/2003)
"Rendered in black ink, watercolor washes and colored pencil, Glasser's creative illustrations brim with imaginative and playful details, and her likenesses of the many famous personalities are often uncanny." Publishers Weekly (09/01/2003)
