Who Is Dolly Parton? by True Kelley

Who Is Dolly Parton? by True Kelley -- 105 pages

I listened to the audio version of this book.  I enjoy these short biographies for kids and usually learn some new information about the subject.  This book was interesting.  However, I found it confusing as it kept jumping around through time.  It would flit between from the 60s to the 80s and then back to the 70s.  I also didn't realize when I started listening that it was written back in 2014 so there was quite a bit left out.  Overall, not the best book in the series but still interesting for those who like Dolly Parton.

Who Was Roald Dahl? by True Kelley

Who Was Roald Dahl? by True Kelley - 102 pages

This is a book in the popular Who Was? biography series for children.  While not a huge fan of the series I did decide to read this book after listening to Dahl's two memoirs for children -- Boy and Going Solo.  I knew they had been fictionalized to a degree and hoped to learn more about the author.  However, it seemed almost as this book just condensed what was already in those books and added a couple chapters at the end on his life after the war.
