I love Dolly Parton, so I had no doubt I would enjoy this book. The story is simple, but enjoyable for both children and adults alike. The story was inspiring without feeling too much like the typical "You can do anything!" children's book. I especially appreciated that Dolly's Imagination Library was mentioned, as that is a wonderful cause that I personally admire. I first discovered these books while shopping for my goddaughter's birthday and I love the series. The only thing I did not enjoy as much as I expected was the illustrations. Dolly is larger than life and I do not feel the illustrations did her justice.

Thank you to NetGalley and Frances Lincoln Children's Books for allowing me access to this book.

I can't say enough about this series! Simple without being overly so. Great illustrations and the perfect amount of information for little learners! We look for these books every time we visit the library. Another excellent addition to the series!

Dolly Parton by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara is another delightful addition to the Little People, BIG DREAMS series, a collection of books that have become must reads for me. This time around, the focus is on the American treasure, who grew up with nothing in terms of material goods, but with a richness in both the love of family and musical talent from the very beginning. Dolly's rise to musical stardom is detailed, and I was particularly pleased to see that the Imagination Library which has become a symbol of Ms Parton's generosity of spirit, warranted several mentions in the book. As per usual, the charming illustrations that accompany the text bring the spotlighted individual to life in such a way that their personality virtually leaps off the page. Recommended.

Many thanks to NetGalley and The Quarto Group - Frances Lincoln Children's Books for the opportunity to read this ARC.
