Five Little Peppers and How They Grew by Margaret Sidney
3.0
Margaret Sidney's Pepper books were ones I read often between the ages of 8 and 12, and haven't opened since.
I liked how they fit within the Louisa May Alcott genre of industrious fiction. Full of handiwork and high emotion - when finished, I would be left with the sense that I'd darned a sock, recovered from some hysterical fit, and gulped a cup of wholesome buttermilk.
Can't imagine suggesting them to a modern child, but they are definitely among my personal history artifacts...
