Caddie is a wild-running tomboy who lives on a Wisconsin farm with her parents and 6 siblings. We experience her life through schoolhouse antics, neighborhood Indians, sibling adventures, farm visitors, storytelling pastimes, etc.
I enjoyed the escapades and life of this family; however, many of the chapters reminded me of the television episodes of Little House on the Prairie more than a pleasant flow a book can deliver. Children, especially girls, who enjoy reading about the pioneer lifestyle, would be thrilled with this one.
This was my favorite book when I was a kid. I didn't watch "Little House" or read those books, so I wonder if that didn't help my enjoyment of "Caddie".
ReplyDeleteKookie ~ I truly believe that I would have loved this as a kid, but it's a little late for that. :)
