Abigail Adams: Girl of Colonial Days (Childhood of Famous Americans)

I remember reading this book when I when I in first grade. It was one of the first books I read by myself. I remember I struggled to finish it and I was so proud of myself. I still remember some of the things that Abigail and her family did in the winters to stay warm. Love the book and the memories. So glad to give it to another generation.

Abigail Adams had an interesting life starting with the rush to baptize her because they thought she would die through becoming the second first lady and the first former first lady to later be the mother of a president. Abigail Adams: Girl of Colonial Days focuses on her childhood, telling some of the more interesting highlights. It briefly covers her later years. It’s easy and quick to read. I highly recommend this book to kids who are studying or interested in Abigail Adams.

The author takes you on a journey through "Nabby's" life. While at first a rocky beginning, Abigail is given an opportunity to grow and develop into a young lady truly ahead of her time. This book is an inspirational story for all young ladies through the example of her life that with an adventurous spirit, the right attitude, and perseverance, each person has the ability to impact lives with whom they come in contact day in and day out. It is a perfect read for 4th grade/beginning of 5th grade.

My daughter called and said she had found our 8 year old granddaughter reading this book at 11:00pm. She said it was just too good to put down!! We love these books and will be getting more for our grandchildren in the future.

Kind of disappointed that the facts are not all true. Cute story overall, but for children learning about her and/or this time period it is important to stick to facts.

My granddaughter really enjoys this series of historical books. She is almost 9 years old and a good reader. She has no problem reading and understanding this book. She enjoys telling me about the life of Abigail Adams.

I read some of these books as a child and have used them as teaching tools for my homeschooled child.Now my granddaughter is enjoying them.They are fun to read and each is a history lesson in themselves

My daughter always looks forward to getting these books. I would highly recommend them. Great for homeschoolers or anyone interested in historical fiction for their children.
