I'm amazed by how cute this books are!
They are a total gem!
Loved seeing Little Dolly growing up and becoming successful .
Whish this books were available when I was growing up!

This series is always a joy to read, it’s a really nice introduction to well known people for little children. Of course the plot is always a little bit fast but that’s to be expected and it’s totally understandable.
Dolly Parton is such a big party of country music and I was very glad to have the chance to learn more about this singer. For example I didn't know about her starting a library project for children or about the theme park. I think this is another great example of someone who followed her dreams and made it, while also doing a lot of good for others.

Such a wonderful series and Dolly well deserves he place among these formidable and successful women.
The stories are simple and give the basic facts that propel someone to success. Dolly came from a big family and never forgot her upbringing and core values.
Her musicianship was unparalleled and as a woman she had courage and business sense to go solo and forge herself a unique place in the hearts of country and musical fans.
In addition she has given so much back to the world beyond her singalong lyrics and catchy tunes.
This book gets you wanting more and rushing for more deeply researched biographies and Dolly’s own spin on her life.
A legend and a talent we should all appreciate.

As always, the 'Little People, Big Dreams' collection showcases the achievements of a famous face in an easy to access way for younger readers. It's great to see this book reinforce just how successful Dolly Parton has been, not just in the music industry, throughout her life.
The text is easy to follow for emergent readers and the illustrations are bright and engaging enough. Personally, these are not my favourite illustrations of the series. I found them too simplistic and lacking in character. When writing about somebody who loves wigs and makeup, the illustration should really emphasize this and sadly it didn't.
Another good book in the series.

At this point, I think if one of these books had amazing illustrations, it would look totally out of place in the series!

That aside, I quite enjoyed this biographical picture book about Dolly Parton. It talks about her career, starting as a child, and her move to Nashville, her solo career, and her business endeavours. I hadn't heard of the Imagination Library, so I was pleased to learn that little factoid in reading the book.

The illustrations are probably the weakest part of this one. They're very rough, streaky, and not all that engaging. The red spots on everyone's cheeks remind me of pepperoni slices! There's a little butterfly that appears on every page, and I assume it has some significance, but nothing is mentioned in the text.

This isn't the best book in the series that I've read so far, but it's one of the better ones, despite the lacklustre illustrations.

Another great little people, big dreams book. This time Dolly Parton. These are go inspiring for children, they teach about famous people and the importance of having dreams as well as the good things they do. Great to read together with children and learn together. Thoroughly recommended to kids of every age

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest opinion

This was cute and it hit on the major points of Dolly's life, but part of what makes Dolly so awesome is her personality and her lyrics and quotations, and the magic of Dolly didn't really come through in the story for me. Still worth reading to kids though!
