Anita!: The Woman Behind the Body Shop

52 pp. | Charlesbridge | July, 1998 | Library ISBN 0-88106-979-5 $$13.95
(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Lisa Kopper. In this biography of Body Shop entrepreneur Anita Roddick, Older covers Roddick's early dreams through her founding of the shop that became a worldwide chain. Roddick is an interesting and eccentric woman but frequently comes across as self-congratulatory, which obscures her good works and strong environmental message. Peppered with photos, spot illustrations, and Anita's beauty tips, this is an inviting but thin package.
