This series rarely has misses, but due to the volume of releases readers have to pick and choose the ones they buy for their children.

Is this one top tier? Probably not, but it is fun, diverting and the artwork is vibrant. As a same sex parent, it’s essential for my kids gay education, and a very enjoyable read out loud!

I loved the details in the illustrations, especially ABBA! I forgot that she was on Tv in Australia. And 5 decades in a row with a chart topping album?! I especially liked the extended biography in the back featuring everything she does for Pride.

Before leafing through this book, I didn't have Kylie Minogue or her music on the forefront of my mind exactly, but it brought back a lot of memories from the early noughties for me, and I'm currently finding myself listening to a best-of Kylie playlist. This was cute, fun, adorable.

Love these books.
Loved they have done Kylie too. Everyone thinks they know Kylie’s life but the don’t. She is an astounding woman and one to be celebrated at that!

Will be purchasing in hard back too

As always the little people, big dreams series are fantastic. Being a Kylie fan growing up I just had to request this one! The illustrations always reflect who the story about and this time the book was bright and colourful just as Kylie herself has been in her career.
I always look forward to a book in this series as you learn about the individual without the information being too overloaded.

Maria is the best author! I love her books so much.
They are the perfect addition to any child's bookshelf. Perfect for educational and entertainment settings, Maria covers all bases in her writing.
The book of Kylie is upto her usual impeccable standard!

Another amazing addition to the LPBD library, I remember that first appearance of Charlene in Neighbour like it was yesterday so was so chuffed to see Kylie being added to this iconic collection. Kylie has had such an inspiring life and overcome so many obstacles along the way - not least her cancer diagnosis. She is a much-loved musician and has been a huge part of my life growing up. One to cherish and add to our collection for sure.

We should all be so lucky to have a career like Kylies! Fab introduction to her life along with great illustrations.

Kylie grew up in Australia with her parents, sister, and brother. Following in her sister's path, she got into acting first, and went from soaps to becoming a pop star on three continents. in the course of time she won her second ever Grammy Award, two decades after her first.
The illustrations by Rebecca Gibbon are fun, simple, brilliantly colorful, and delightful.
Well suited for reading WITH someone of any age including ESL, and great for gifting to anyone, but especially to a school or your local public library!
I requested and received a free temporary e-book on Adobe Digital Editions from Quarto Publishing Group/Frances Lincoln Children's Books via NetGalley. Thank you! Expected publication March 5, 2024

i first heard Kylie Minogue name in 2020 but after that she completely out of my radar again. reading this was a nice way to know her, and now little kids can know her too. cute & lovely illustration as usual!

Thank you so much for an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

Little People, Big Dreams is one of my favourite series ever. As an adult, I keep collecting them, especially the ones about women, and this one was quite fun to read.

I have listened to, danced to and sung Kylie Minogue songs for year, but I knew very little about her life. Learning some more was great and I think she is very inspiring to many people!

This series is TOP!

I enjoyed learning more about Kylie Minogue, but I just wanted more! I loved the art style and color way also.

I received a complimentary copy of this book via Netgalley. Opinions expressed in this review are my own

I was never a big Kylie Minogue fan, but I love the Little People, Big Dreams, so I was excited to review this book.

I have a brand new respect for Miss Minogue. 5 generations of music is amazing, and she is a breast cancer survivor like my mom and so many others. This book was about strength and never giving up.

We love this series and Kylie Minogue! There was a lot I didn’t know about Kylie and I think this book does a great job giving little ones just enough information. It’s not too overwhelming. The illustrations as always are amazing.

Another amazing book in this series. As always very well written and beautiful illustrations. Definitely recommend and a must read.

For those who enjoy reading these easily-digestible "Little People Big Dreams" biographies (and, I do!), Kylie Minogue is a satisfying entry. Likewise, fans of Kylie are sure to enjoy this child-friendly synopsis of Kylie's 30+ years in the entertainment biz. Fans of naive art illustration will also embrace this book...the drawings are adorable! But for everyone else, Kylie Minogue, in both human and book form, is probably not relevant (or ground-breaking, or history-making) enough to young readers to merit a recommendation.

Thanks to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for providing a free e-copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is the first Little People, Big Dreams book i've read with an Australian star - and as an Aussie who grew up singing along with Kylie - what a great place to start. The illustrations seemed especially gorgeous - and I loved that Dannii got a mention, as did Kylie's battle with breast cancer.

Kylie Minogue is not a new topic in my life. But never did I know that she was once an actress, I know her songs only. But her life is so inspiring, and the author can brought out the beauty of her struggles and it paid off. An inspiring story to read by many.

I love the little people books. They are easy to read and the illustrations are always beautiful. One to be shared with the children and then to watch her in action on YouTube.

Another cute Little People Big Dreams book! I honestly didn’t know much on Kylie’s story, but of course know her music. It was a great way to do a short story of who she is and how she got to her fame in music.
