A fine introduction to the first American female recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize School Library Journal Stone is deft with characterization: readers see the young Addams enjoying a childhood game with her stepbrother, and while no connection is articulated, this seems contiguous with her launching Chicago's first playground as an adult. . . Addams's matter-of-fact noblesse oblige is captured in Brown's handsome watercolor and pen-and-ink illustrations The Horn Book Stone capably discusses Addams' early years at Hull House, the mansion she converted into a neighborhood center and encircled with related enterprises; Brown's ink and watercolor pictures complement the hopeful tone of the text The Bulletin * A short, incisive biography. . . . The cameos of action, matched by full-page pictures, make the history accessible. A must for library shelves.
