Caddie is a free spirit!
Caddie Woodlawn is a wonderful Newbery Medal winning book. The story is set in Wisconsin at the same time that the American Civil War is being fought in the East. It was a time when everyone had fireplaces instead of heaters, paper and pencils instead of computer typing programs and outhouses instead of indoor plumbing. News and letters from the East come every few months on a steamer boat. ...

Magical! Further Adventures of Caddie Woodlawn
Caddie Woodlawn's Family (originally titled "Magical Melons") was written several years after the award-winning best-selling original "Caddie Woodlawn". This is a more loosely connected selection of stories about Caddie and her family which covers a wider span than the original book and even overlaps a bit. Although it sounds a little funny, it works (and even makes sense) since these are true ...

WINTER COTTAGE by Carol Ryrie Brink
This book, WINTER COTTAGE, by Carol Ryrie Brink, is a true treasure. It is the heartwarming story of a widowered papa and his two young daughters, Minty and Eggs, and their happy little doggie, Buster. It takes place in a time when there were no jobs to be had, and money and supplies were so short that every penny and every item had to stretch as far as it could go. But, in this little ...

Andy Buckram's Tin Men
It's funny, I've read hundreds of books over the years but this book has stayed on my mind since I was a kid. Andy Buckram's Tin Men was that wonderful mixture of fun, science, and luck. Andy was the kind of kid you always wanted to be. He was Boy's Life and Popular Science come to life. I'm sorry to see this terrific book is out of print. I still have my original copy, but I just can't ...

Babies and Girls.. and a Island too!
Great fun! As a young girl, I read this book over and over. Loved it! Magical. Shipwrecked on an Island with babies in their care - the girls in this story have an adventure. I was so jealous! I loved babies, still do! This book was dreamy fun. The author, Carol R. Brink, also wrote "The Pink Motel," my other fav in the 5th grade. Have them both, and will treasure them forever. All my ...

Viking Juvenile, 1956

Wonderful!
I love this book! I have checked it out several times from the library and each time I have enjoyed it very much. It is a story of a family on a sabbatical in France (for those who don't know, a sabbatical is when, after seven years, a professor goes and works somewhere else for up to a year). This book quickly became one of my favorites because it tells the humorous account of a family getting ...
