A Is for Awesome!: 23 Iconic Women Who Changed the World Board book – Illustrated, February 5, 2019

I bought this alphabet book as a baby shower gift. It showcases strong, powerful women. It will be my standard baby shower or 1st birthday gift.

Good gift for any little girl!

We gave this book as a birthday gift to a granddaughter. We hope she'll see herself as someone with ability and power to do great things.

A good youth reader.

My little girl loves this book. She sleeps with it because she doesn't want it out of her sight. She especially loves the last page where she can pick out her favorites.

Bought this as a baby shower gift, came as expected, no complaints! Obviously since it was a gift for someone else I haven’t personally seen it in use, but it’s a great baby shower present and the mama-to-be was thrilled!

Even though this appears designed to be a very young child's board book, it could provide inspirational sound bite boosts to girls of any age (probably aged 8 and way up). It struck me as an A, B, C's moral equivalent of Page-a-Day tear off motivational phrase calendars. With much better graphics in the book than those calendars boast.I think it's great for what it is! Don't buy it for in-depth or even insightful yet terse biographies. Chelsea & Hillary Clinton's books are more of that.My big disappointment in this book, and reason for subtracting a star rating, is the letter "V". Why the heck did the author completely switch gears and throw in a mythological character?!? Why not use Virginia Woolf or Venus Williams or some other V-named real-life successful and inspiring woman or girl? That was a swing and a miss content-wise. The author also copped out on three letters of the alphabet. It's like she ran out of researching steam. But, there's a fun surprise at the end.Overall, I recommend it for what it is and what it does. Keep in mind the caveats above of what it is not before buying.

Perfect gift for our friends new baby! She and her husband are bookworms so I set out to find board books that would provide fun reading for their baby. And this fit the bill, especially since some closed minded areas of the country are hellbent on banning this book.
