Reviews for The Story of Betty White: An Inspiring Biography for Young Readers

"""A great capture of the life and driving forces of the inspiring trail blazer, Betty White, whose parents nurtured her love of animals and a sense of humor, which endured beyond her 'Golden' years. Tam playfully presents questions designed to help the reader consider the attributes which helped White succeed and take on roles that women had yet to hold. I highly recommend The Story of Betty White for those wishing to encourage young readers to pursue their own passions and paths."" -- Tammy Shaw, mentor and teacher, CIT, Rochester City School District ""The lady of genuine love for others, Betty White, would adore this tribute to her. Tam writes with a clear understanding of a young reader's desire to learn about an influential lady in television and a true pet advocate. Through facts, timelines and details of Betty's life, Tam shows the readers how Betty White made a difference. I was drawn in from the beginning to the end as Tam wrote about the various times in Betty White's career. The ""Think Tank"" gives some self-examination for the readers to see themselves making a difference in their own world. I highly recommend this book to readers that want to explore a true icon of our time."" -- Roxane Fox, retired Elementary School Teacher, Ohio"
