Miss Dorothy and Her Bookmobile: A Biography About Bringing Literacy to Rural Appalachia for Kids (Ages 4-8)

We really enjoyed reading this true story to our granddaughter. I also enjoyed the conversations that resulted as well. History brought to life through the charmingly illustrated and easy to read story!

This was such a moving and inspiring story, loved by the adults and children alike in our family. Wholesome book to highly recommend!

I purchased two copies of this book for my grandchildren for Christmas primarily because my husband had worked on a bookmobile as a child. I had also read a very positive review in a recent publication. After reading the book, I was thrilled with the writing, the pictures and the fact that it was based on a real librarian. Also had not remembered that the author was from North Carolina. I love having books that are from NC authors. All around, a great addition to our book collection.

If your love of books has changed your life, this sweet childrens' book, based upon a real bookmobile librarian, will warm your heart. Todays children are used to obtaining books for free at their local library, or accessing them over the internet. The dedication and devotion that bookmobile librarians often extended to people in remote areas, is unknown to them. This book, and many others of this genre, is a tribute to books and to those who brought them to families far and wide.

A delightful story telling about librarian Miss Dorothy, whose dream was to work in a brick library. However, she married a man whose life was to be on a farm, so it was Miss Dorothy's role to take the books to the people where they lived. She did this in a bookmobile.

This was a heart warming book that showed a woman's love of books that was passed to children and they fell in love with books and reading. The love and appreciation of they had for her and her work for them. Miss Dorothy was a hero by spreading her love and kindness to the community she loved and served.

This was one of my daughter's favorite library books. She received it as a gift and was so happy to actually own it. It's a great story.

Based on a true story, this is a REAL librarian. A great addition to any reading unit on how children obtain an education despite their circumstances.
