A gift for my granddaughter!

This simplified book along with a book of "Little Women" paper dolls made a nice gift.

Not Actually Little Women

This is a rewritten and abridged version of Little Women, it is not the actual novel.

You MUST read this book!

Little Woman is a book that everyone must read. I really love the characters and everything about it! My favorite character is Jo, who seems a lot like me because she loves books and isn't a really girlie girl. I also like Beth because she is so nice. I really recommend reading this book.

Great Book for Girls

This book was set in the civil war about four sisters and their mother. They also had a friend named Laurie. Their father was taking care of hurt and Ill soldiers. Then one day they were sent a telegram that said that their father was very ill, but he was cured and their father was luckily home in time for Christmas. One of the sisters, Beth, became ill also from helping a poor sick family. This book is one of the best books I have ever read because it is filled with interesting things that happen! But my favorite part was when Laurie joined their busy bee society and when their mother leaves them by themselves for the entire day just to play a trick on them!
