Our (my and my 6yo's) favorite of the first four books. We're digging this series. Just right for this age group. (no editing needed; good on values and family relationships)

This is such a lovely little book. The story is good and Violet is such a nice character. I also love the illustrations throughout the book.

It is really lovely how Anna Branford pulls together all the little things that happen to Violet, so that they work out. Personalities are big, but there is no excess at all in the writing. It is simple, clean, beautiful, and quirky.

Second of the Violet series and another book filled with warmth and charm emanating from the title character and the plot. A great and gentle read, nothing taxing and very quick to read, but thoroughly enjoyable - roll on #3!

Violet Mackerel is in need of a tonsillectomy, and she is determined to make this not just a recovery, but a remarkable recovery.

Her doctor tells her that when her tonsils are removed, her voice might be a little different. Violet, being adorable and 7, decides this means she will have an opera voice.

Another adorable series parents with children ages 4 to 7 will enjoy reading aloud.

So very charming. <3's all around.

Darling story about a little girl getting her tonsils out. Violet Mackerel thinks in her very own way and loves boyish and girlish things, without Junie B's sassafras. PERFECT for those who don't love Junie B and aren't quite ready for Clementine.
