This book was really interesting. When I grabbed this book from the library, I had no idea I was going to be reading about the wife our John Quincy Adams. I hardly knew anything about her, though I found out she was definitely a down to earth person. I am pretty sure she played a part in the change of how woman was treated eventually. ( )

This book was about the life of Abigail Adams and how she married John Adams and her involvement in the Revolutionary War. The book also talked about her views of anti-slavery, and pro-women's suffrage. ( )

This story is about the life of the wife of John Adams, Abigail Adams. She was born on November 11th, 1744. When she was little, she was often curious. Everything amazed her and she wanted to know more than she already did. She met John Adams when she was still a teenager and she married him on October 25th, 1764. She would go on to have a few children. One of her children was John Quincy Adams, who was one of our presidents. She would often go with her husband to different political engagements and would work with him during his presidency. One of the facts that I found out really interested me was that she was the first president's wife to live in the White House. While reading this book, I learned more about Abigail Adams and thought she was a really interesting person and definitely an important part of history. This book is great for 2nd and 3rd grade because of the easy read and the topic on one of the first ladies of the United States. ( )

Abigail Adams was always trying to do more in her life time than was allowed. She wanted to go to school as a child, but her mother only let her brother attend. She thought that a country fighting for freedom from Britain should also abolish slavery and give equal rights to women, though these amendments and laws would not be enacted until later. ( )

This was a strong informational text with few frills. It read like a very traditional biographical picture book. Not bad, but a bit dry. ( )
