This title introduces early readers to United Kingdom Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Using simple language and cute, attractive illustrations, this 5-minute, 20-page read explains who Thatcher was and why she was important.
Key topics include the fact that she was the first female Prime Minister and the longest-serving Prime Minister of the UK to date. Her early background as a scientist, her privatization reforms (and their unpopularity), the Cold War and its denouement are also covered.
Language level is appropriate for reading aloud to late toddlers/early preschoolers or for simple self-reading for early grade school.
Margaret Thatcher is part of the Not-Too-Tall history/biography series. This is the first title to be made available on the Ingram POD channel, but as of April 2022, the series consists of 5 titles with a 6th in development. Support materials include printable character coloring pages available free on the publisher website.
