Simply Inspiring
This is a wonderful simple picture book about a girl who pursued her dreams. I think girls of all ages will love it. My daughter, who is 4, really enjoys it. I didn't find anything inappropriate about the story. I thought it was empowering and encourages young girls to work hard and do what they dream of doing.

Cute little book
This book is based on snippets of actual facts about Amelia Earhart. Ive always been fascinated by Amelia and just had to get this book. I did not find anything inappropriate about the book either, Amelia did grow up around guns/hunting and today's world is a bit different yes, but we can not shy away from history/facts. The pictures were wonderful, I loved the story at the end about her and the oldish looking plane picture (was it her?) on the pages. While I enjoyed the illustrations and book, it was put together a bit strange for my tastes, as it did not flow as a story but each page was just a quick snippet from her little girl years. Still a cute book though.""""
