Customer Reviews

Sweet Lyrical Book that makes you yearn for the Country!

I love this book! I checked it out from the library and my children loved it too! My boys are ages 5 and under and they kept saying, "I want to live in a little country town!". It definitely stirred some feeling in them, as well as me! The pictures are great, and the words simple, beautiful and lyrical. I really do love this book and will purchase one for my family. I hope to see more books like this by this author and the illustrator!

Charming...

My daughters (ages 4 & 5) really enjoyed this story, and I found it refreshingly charming and very enjoyable to read over and over again! I'll be looking for more books from Ms. Southwell, that's for sure!You can almost hear the sights and smell the scents of the countryside, when reading this wonderful book. Most importantly, it's simplicity reconfirms the ideals of the country. I highly recommend this for all young children, both boys and girls!

wonderful children's book

I have read the new book, "THE LITTLE COUNTRY TOWN" and think it is one of the best books I have read for children. Jandelyn Southwell has written a description of the sounds of country living so realistic that one feels as if they are sitting on the front porch watching the children play. I would recommend this book for anyone with children, grandchildren, nieces, nephnews, or young friends, and I have bought additional copies for gifts. I'm looking forward to many more books from Ms. Southwell.
