This was a great book but it had the most awful ending I've ever read. It reminded me of the little house on the prarie books. Funny, interesting and sometimes miserable or sad. I would have adored this book if the ending had been something else. Dont continue reading if you havent read it yet. ...             Little Britches Father & I Were Ranchers1 review Ralph Moody W W NORTON & CO @, 1950 Well-written account of farm life in early 20th century Colorado Four stars or five? I think five for me, because I have personal connections to the story (although none to the author). But in 2009, this is somewhat a niche book, so I give it four for a broader audience. This book should be of definite interest to residents of Denver's southern suburbs. (The farm was near what is now W. Hampden Ave. and S. Harlan St.) Those whose ancestors were ...             Dusty Britches9 reviews Marcia Lynn McClure Distractions Ink, 2008 First Marcia Lynn McClure Book I've wanted to read a Marcia Lynn McClure book since I heard of the reputation she has for writing very clean romance books but have hesitated because they have not been released for the kindle. I finally gave in and ordered a paper book with my last Amazon order (since I had free shipping anyway :0) and was not disappointed. Dusty Britches was a light, fun, romantic read with not just one ...             Little Britches: Father and I Were Ranchers71 reviews Ralph Moody Bison Books, 1991 On the level of the Little House books I read this book to my son and daughter a few months ago. What a beautiful story it was! There are two things the uninitiated might want to know: One, Moody is writing from his childhood. When he revealed what people said, and they used colorful, adult language, he puts it in the book. Because I was the one reading it, I said, "blip," and my children knew it involved bad language. Ralph's ...             Little Britches and the Rattlers4 reviews Eric A. Kimmel Marshall Cavendish Children's Books, 2008 Little Britches and the Rattlers This was a delightful book for my Kindergarten children as we live in the southwest desert and the children could relate to the book. It was a fun book and lots of comments from the children on it.             Into the Hands of Strangers6 reviews Amber Lenore Winckler Sassy Britches Publishing, 2010 Not what anyone would think As a former coworker of the author, I can tell you first hand this book is a dead-on (no pun intended) accurate portrayal of the emotional and psychological toll that workers in this environment pay. It also accurately reflects the various manifestations the toll takes as she describes her various coworkers and their personality disorders. Having read this book twice now, it has caused me to ...             Father and I Were Ranchers (The Little Britches Series Book 1) [UNABRIDGED]5 reviews Books in Motion, 2001 This series is simply the best!!! I am an elementary librarian and I read this book to my fifth graders every year. This is one of the best loved series of books in our school's library. The children relish each chapter and protest each time I put the book down. Parents, if you would like your child to read a book that has the same good old fashioned morals that are found in the Louisa May Alcott books, then buy this book. ...             The Home Ranch (The Little Britches Series) [UNABRIDGED]9 reviews Ralph Moody Books in Motion, 2001 Perhaps the very best of the series What a grand adventure for a 12 year-old boy to work in a real man's job, earning a real man's salary, working for a cattle rancher/trader Mr. Batchlet.

As a forth grader in Colorado our teacher read the first two books in Ralph Moody's series to our class. Now, almost 30 years later I'm reading the whole series to my family, we love them. Even our 3 year old asks me to read them at bed time. Mr. Moody's descriptions and the story of his life are more than touching and heartwarming, they are important lessions in morality, life and love. ...             The Fields of Home (The Little Britches Series)11 reviews Ralph Moody Books in Motion, 2001 The Fields of Home My children enjoyed this series.
