Took me a while to finish this book, especially after the eventful and emotional story of the first part, Little Women and Good Wives. This book was more of a collection of tales describing everyday life at Jo and Fritz's school! It's definitely heartwarming, and progresses into a plot, not simply short stories, but the chapters are long and the stories definitely are more targeted towards children, as we leave behind the drama with beloved characters such as Laurie, Amy, and Meg, only making occasional cameos. It is of course still a classic and perfect for a cozy spring day where you want nothing but fables of adorable kids. The lessons and child-rearing methods were possibly quite progressive at that time, but it's helpful to keep in mind reading this book the original audience and how times have changed. Beautiful stories all up, but definitely not a book I couldn't put down🙃🤪
