The Penderwicks
Just finished The Penderwicks: A Summer Tale of Four Sisters, Two Rabbits, and a Very Interesting Boy by Jeanne Birdsall.
So good! First, a perfect “summer tale” to read IN the summer, because you aren’t jealous of the girls and the fact that they can do whatever they want all day long. If I were to read this during the school year, I may be a little envious of their free time. A family of four girls, a dog, and a dad rent a cottage that is part of a large house owned by the not so nice, Mrs. Tifton. Mrs. Tifton has a son who is so nice and the girls become friends with him and the folks who work for Mrs. Tifton at her house. The book is basically thier summer adventures, which include a bull, a piano, and a fall into a pond. Very much worth a read and it is one of this year’s South Carolina Children’s Book Award nominees.
Love,
Mrs. Byrd Fort
