THE WAY WE WERE

Born in a sod house in North Dakota, Glen Rounds well knows of what he writes. His discerningly spare illustrations and trenchant text perfectly relate how sod houses were built and lived in. A good lesson for youngsters in how others have lived.

A clear picture of life on the Plains

This book will hold the interest of adults and children alike. Teachers and homeschool parents especially need to include it in a unit on the West. Mr. Rounds gives us a clear idea of what life in a sod house was really like: cramped quarters, leaky roofs, and uninvited wildlife falling through the roof. The illustrations in subdued pastels are almost childlike in their simplicity and very effectively visualize the text. I highly recommend it.
