I haven't read this book since, oh, probably third grade? Maybe a little older? I do remember enjoying it, learning a lot about the prairie and settlors, and also being very emotionally involved with the characters. I think its a good book for kids to connect with on an emotional level... man I need to read this again, its a Kindle daily deal, I don't even have kids but maybe I'll pick it up for some nostalgia.

I received this book as a gift from a workshop I attended. This book has a wonderful story. Stories of daily life are my faves that's why I enjoyed this one. It's a children's book, so the language for my level is a bit basic. Other than that, I liked this emotional and feel-good gem.

Very sweet. A lovely story, not clichéd either. And I love anything where the setting is the prairie.

Simplistic and not my cup of tea, but good for intermediate esl students.

Wept tears at the simple beauty of this tale.

This is one of the first books I finished in 2020 and I liked it a lot. This series is not full of action but it's still worth the read. I recommend it.
