A very quick read with paper-thin trivia. I don't think this will do much for diehard fans who would already know all this information, but it was an okay read for me. Interesting to see how Sabrina Carpenter has evolved.

This is a short and sweet- pun intended! - book for any of Sabrina's young fans. It gives a good overview of her life and how she got to be where she is now. Thank you so much NetGallery for this ARC.

This biography is bright, fun, and totally kid-friendly. Covering Sabrina’s journey from small-town Pennsylvania to global pop icon, it’s packed with glossy photos, pink backgrounds, and bite-sized facts that’ll charm any young fan.

Short, fun, informative, and inspiring read for young female acting/music fans! The graphics were great and very visually appealing. I loved the pink, purple, and white theme. I also loved the photos peppered throughout and the timeline of her life and accomplishments. I had no idea she was in acting before music!

Thank you to the author, Rosen Pub, and NetGalley for the digital copy.

This book is very cute and I think elementary students would love reading this book. Sabrina is very popular right now, and I like that they included TV shows and movies she's been in. This would allow for kids to go back and watch her at a younger age and see were she started. I would have liked to hear more about her childhood, but I understand that kids might not be interested in topics like that.

Thank you to Netgalley, Kathleen Connors, and Rosen publishing group for providing an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest feedback.

Short and sweet, this book gives a brief bio on Sabrina Carpenter's career and life. I will admit though, as this book is written for children, I'm a tiny bit confused by it's existence given her current career is very obviously not meant for kids.

A nice read but the information could have been better documented. It lacked of representative pictures, and media on the pages. Like the pictures didn't match always what was written on the same page. It needed more context.

The cover isn't that attractive to the reader, as least for me.

It lacked a lot of information : I am not a die hard fan of Sabrina, I was reading this to learn more about her. But the information was pretty basic and well known. I was expecting to learn new things, things I didn't know about her, searching for more lore and documentation about the lesser known part of Sabrina, her personality and career.

The parts from her earlier career should have been a bit more documented. Like having picture corresponding with the text. It should have been great to see illustrations or pictures of her albums, it would have been easier to follow the text and information said on the text by having corresponding pictures laid on the pages.

Plus this book being targeted to children it would have been better to do it that way. But I understand maybe it's hard to have the authorization to use the images and artwork that would have fit better. This book would have been better and more accessible with a more visual approach.
Still a nice read. A bit disappointed in the end.

This was short n’ sweet. It was nice but maybe a bit too short. It only included very general facts about Sabrina and it would’ve been cool to learn about her career in more detail.

I loved it! I thought this was so cute and the perfect length. I’ve really enjoyed Sabrina Carpenters music lately and these facts were fun to learn.

I’m grateful to have received a copy of this book, as a Sabrina fan for the past 10 years, I know how much work she’s put into her career and how it’s now finally paying off. I think it is important to educate people in the pop culture space and regular music fans in general into how Sabrina really got her start and that she’s not an overnight sensation. There’s a lot of misconception about how many albums Sabrina has and what her career actually consists of and I think books like these are really important.

I totally understand that the target audience is children, however I feel like there could’ve had even the slightest more depth in the timeline and information about Sabrina. It was quite basic and simple information.

But other than that, I did quite enjoy this book

My 9 year old loves Sabrina Carpenter so this was fun to read. I love how quirky and fun she is and learning about her life was a treat!

Thank you Rosen Publishing, Kathleen Connors and NetGalley for the ARC. All opinions expressed are my own.

What a fantastic little biography! I knew Sabrina Carpenter had been working hard for a long time, but I didn't realize how long! She's been successfully acting, singing and dancing since she was a child, and she is getting important awards now to prove that the world can see her talent. Sabrina Carpenter is tiny but talented and hardworking.

This is the perfect celebrity biography! This book was simple and gorgeously designed, with a really modern aesthetic design that matched the artist it was talking about. Kathleen Connor’s’ Sabrina Carpenter is a must buy for all children’s library collections! This book is filled with full color photos, text on pink backgrounds, and a breakdown of her career thus far paired with iconic facts. There is a timeline, glossary, and index in the back making this a good learning tool. I will certainly be buying more from the collection.
