Enjoying Favorite Children’s Books With Caroline

One of the delights of my life is introducing Caroline to some of my favorite children’s books. For a variety of reasons, we are coming to some of them later than might be expected.

For example, we read through the “Little House” series just recently while she was 13 and 14. Most people read them to their children when they are in elementary school (and I did try earlier on). But I found that this age was a great time to read them. Why? Because a young lady will hear the stories much differently. Caroline is young enough to remember being a child so she relates to the childish parts of the early books. But she’s also growing up and so looks at Laura’s teaching, moving away from home, courting, etc. parts differently than she would have as a ten or eleven year old. It made for some fantastic discussions.

We’re now reading through the All-of-a-Kind Family books (my review here), one of my favorite series from childhood. Again, I tried to read the first one with her earlier, but she wasn’t ready for it. Now? She’s thoroughly enjoying them.

There are other favorites I’m looking forward to introducing her to – Caddie Woodlawn, Understood Betsy (my review here), and others I’ve mentioned in 100 Wholesome Books for Girls and Tweens. It’s such a joy to experience not only my favorite books once again, but experience the delight of someone enjoying stories for the first time. One of my main goals this summer is simply to read fun books with her. I think that’s a great goal, don’t you?

Understood Betsy was one of my favorite novels when I was girl. But (to be perfectly honest) I didn’t read it for a very long time and in the process kind of forgot why it was a favorite.

When I read it again, it all came back to me why I loved it so much as a girl and even as a young woman. It was an easy choice to include in Homeschooling with Cozy Books. (It is also included in my list of 100 Wholesome Books for Girls and Tweens.)

Understood Betsy

Betsy is a mousy orphan girl who lives in the city with her great-aunt and great-aunt’s daughter on her father’s side. The aunts coddle her and protect her from life. Their constant fussing over her is turning her into a sad specimen of girlhood. When unexpected events suddenly necessitate the older women immediately leaving the city, the decision is made to send Betsy to Vermont to live with other cousins on her father’s side.

However, when Betsy arrives in Vermont there is a complication. Betsy discovers she must go live with another set of elderly cousins. the dreaded Putney cousins on her mother’s side.

What unfolds with this simple chain of events is a life-changing experience for Betsy.

I cannot recommend Understood Betsy highly enough (and the glowing reviews on Amazon support my recommendation). Understood Betsy is full of wonderful themes, truths, and lessons. Throw in the benefit of learning a little history right along with the engaging story and it is a read aloud well worth your time. I said when I shared it in my list of wholesome books that every girl should either read this book or had it read aloud to her. I still believe this to be true.

100+ Free Old-Fashioned Cozy Books for Kindle

Do you like old-fashioned books? I do and I’ve downloaded many of the titles below. I thought I would put together a post of 100+ free old-fashioned cozy books for Kindle for others who might enjoy discovering some new titles and new-to-them authors. This is a great way to stretch your book budget and still have lots and lots of things to read.

Free Old-Fashioned Cozy Books

I haven’t read all of the books below, but I’ll mention under each author the ones I have read and particularly liked. To be honest, I like sweet stories with happy endings. I enjoy a bit of intrigue, but I tend to gravitate toward “nice” stories. I’m not a sophisticated reader of fiction. I like meaty non-fiction, but I read fiction to completely escape to a happier place – not read depressing stories. If you don’t like sweet stories, you might want to ignore my recommendations. LOL!

Obviously since these are all old books many are going to have politically incorrect language and attitudes. I didn’t screen them for that just like I didn’t screen all of the books on my 100 Wholesome Books for Girls and Tweens. If those things bother you, then don’t download any of them. I’m not going to defend the content of any of the books.

Kindle e-readers

I absolutely love my Kindle e-reader because it makes it possible for me to read at bedtime. For decades I read books at bedtime, but I struggle with holding actual books now due to chronic neck and shoulder issues. David bought a Kindle ereader for me a few Christmases ago and I’m so thankful for it. I can prop it up and read from it before going to sleep. No sleep disrupting glow either. Happy happy!

Kindle Paperwhite Essentials Bundle Kindle Paperwhite – Waterproof Kindle – Now with a Built-in Front Light

***The books below with a clickable cover should all be free. Some of the books I mention in the commentary aren’t free, but I still wanted to mention them.***

Grace S. Richmond Books

Grace Richmond (1866 – 1959) was a popular writer during the early part of the twentieth century. Her most well-known book today is probably The Twenty-Fourth of June which I have read a few times. It’s a sweet story. I just finished Under the Country Sky and The Brown Study. Both were good reads. The Red Pepper Burns series was very popular during its time. I also read Foursquare a number of years ago and enjoyed it. Round the Corner on Gay Street is another of her books that is only available in a priced copy. She has some that aren’t public domain yet as well which you will see listed on Amazon.

Grace Livingston Hill Books

Grace Livingston Hill (April 16, 1865 – 1947) was a prolific writer and one of the best-known Christian authors of her time (late 1800’s through roughly WW2). After the death of her father and husband, she was left with a mother and two daughters to provide for. At times she wrote three books a year. Other than short stories I haven’t tracked down, I’ve read pretty much everything she’s written. This is the Grace Livingston Hill Wikipedia entry.

Her early books (which include many of the free ones below) are of a different style than the later books. I generally like her stories from the 20’s and 30’s the best. That said, the first two books below (Cloudy Jewel and The Enchanted Barn) are two cozy favorites.

You might not be familiar with the fourth book in the list (The Witness), but many missionaries and pastors have mentioned through the years the profound impact that book had on their lives. It was an important book when it was published. It’s not as cozy as some of the others, but it’s worth a read both for the content and to be familiar with an important part of Christian publishing history. If I am going to recommend cozy Grace Livingston Hill books that aren’t free, I would send you to The Substitute Guest, The Prodigal Girl, Re-Creations, April Gold, Beauty for Ashes, Honor Girl, Matched Pearls, and The Christmas Bride.

Pansy or Isabella Alden Books

Isabella Alden (November 3, 1841 – August 5, 1930) was Grace Livingston Hill’s aunt and played a key role in helping Grace establish her writing career. Isabella was also known as the writer Pansy and was wildly popular during her time. If you search Pansy book on eBay, you can see many of her antique books. Here is the Isabella Alden Wikipedia entry. You can read more about Isabella Alden on her Amazon author page where there are also many of her books available for $0.99.

Louisa May Alcott Books

Louisa May Alcott (November 29, 1832 – March 6, 1888) is best known for Little Women, but there are many other Alcott stories to explore! I read An Old-Fashioned Girl, Rose in Bloom, and Eight Cousins many years ago. I need to read them again! You can read the Louisa May Alcott Wikipedia entry to learn more.

Frances Hodgson Burnett Books

I have to admit that I haven’t read anything by Frances Hodgson Burnett (November 24, 1849 – October 29, 1924). Not even the first two on the list! I need to rectify that so I’m adding a few of these below to my Kindle. Here is the Frances Hodgson Burnett Wikipedia entry to learn more about her.

Elizabeth Gaskell Books

Elizabeth Gaskell (September 29, 1810 – November 12, 1865) is probably best known for North and South, Wives and Daughters. and Cranford due to the various mini-series that have been made in recent years. (I thoroughly enjoyed the North and South mini-series with Richard Armitage and Daniela Denby-Ashe. That ending. Swoon!) Gaskell’s books are probably the “heaviest” in terms of the subject matter of any of the authors in this post. This is the Elizabeth Gaskell Wikipedia entry.

Lucy Maud Montgomery Books

Lucy Maud Montgomery (November 30, 1874 – April 24, 1942) is the Canadian author best known for Anne of Green Gables. She has also written many books, short stories. etc. Below is just a sampling of what is available. You can learn more about her at the Lucy Maud Montgomery Wikipedia entry.

Vintage Adventure Books from Aunt Claire Presents

Confession time. In addition to my love of cozy picture books, I enjoy young adult fiction from around the turn of the century. I especially enjoy reading novels set in high school and college as well as vintage adventure books from the 1910s through the 1930s. Books like the Anne of Green Gables series, the Betsy-Tacy books, the All-of-a-Kind Family series, and so on.

I think it is the combination of the historical aspect (I love history) and reading about the way things were done during that time. The books tend to be rather lighthearted and don’t have the same depressing themes that books seem to be overrun with today. As I’ve written before, I strongly prefer wholesome books both for me and my daughter.

So all that to say, when I had the opportunity to review a couple of vintage adventure books from the Aunt Claire Presents series, I was all in!

I received these books for free to review and am being compensated for my time. I was not required to write a positive review.

Vintage Adventure Books from Aunt Claire Presents

Aunt Claire Presents, published by Laboratory Books, are reprints of fun vintage adventure books that were widely read when they were originally written. The series currently includes:

The Automobile Girls at Newport by Laura Dent Crane

Grace Harlowe’s Freshman Year at High School by Jessie Graham Flower, A.M.

Coming up in the spring of 2018, two more books will be added to the collection:

The Girl Aviators and the Phantom Airship by Margaret Burnham

Grace Harlowe’s Sophomore Year at High School by Jessie Graham Flower, A.M.

The books are highly engaging with stories that move right along. As the Aunt Claire Presents website says, these are good stories, not great literature. If you are a literature snob, you probably won’t like these. If you enjoy a good vintage story, you should check them out.

At first I didn’t realize that Grace Harlowe’s Freshman Year at High School isn’t the next book after The Automobile Girls at Newport. I thought it was book two until I got to the end of The Automobile Girls at Newport and realized that the Grace in one of the books is a different Grace from the other book. Oh no! I needed to know what happens to the Automobile Girls! LOL! Seriously! There were several big hints in the book about a few developments that might happen so I set about finding the next books in the series.

(So, note to Aunt Claire – We need all the books ASAP!)

The books themselves are nicely done. The dust jackets are made of a thick, quality paper with beautiful colors. The books are quality. Under the dust jacket is the original book cover from 1910 which, as someone geeky about history, I find very cool.

(And I must briefly mention that one of the characters in The Automobile Girls at Newportis named Aunt Sallie. A character with my name almost never happens in books I read!)

Using Vintage Adventure Books for History

At this point, I haven’t read these with Caroline. I will eventually use them with her, but it’s not the right time yet. (She’s eleven right now.) I know if I wait another year or so they will fit her much better. But these books lend themselves very well to use as history supplements. One could use T he Automobile Girls at Newport to create an entire unit study. There are many historical topics that pop up in the book as well as geographical locations. So many historical rabbit trails you could go down with these books.

Of great value in these books is the section at the beginning entitled “A Note from Aunt Claire” which provides excellent background information for the stories.

For example, Aunt Claire explains in The Automobile Girls at Newport about the newness of traveling by motor car, accessories women wanted/needed for traveling this way, etc. She uses vintage advertisements to illustrate what she is describing.

So many accessories needed!

She also explains why the girls in the books were adventurous in that day and age and how that was profoundly different in many way. Many young girls reading these books today wouldn’t fully grasp how unusual it was for young women to do some of the things the girls do in the story unless provided with that background information.

So the stories offer a plethora of great historical background, references, and all kinds of ways to learn more about the time period.

On the Aunt Claire Presents website, there are also a few resources that would be helpful for homeschoolers including two pages of writing prompts and discussion topics.

Necessary Disclaimers

So I feel it is necessary to give a few disclaimers due to the climate of the culture in which we live.

One, please remember these books were written over one hundred years ago. They reflect the times in which they were written. If being politically correct is important to you and your child, then review the book first. I read vintage adventure books in the historical context in which they were written and that stuff doesn’t bother me in that context.

Two, if you are a Christian and you are very particular about non-Christian content, you might want to review the books first. For example, two of the girls dress up as gypsies and pretend to do fortune telling at a big party in The Automobile Girls at Newport. There are happenings like that and attitudes expressed in the stories that, again, reflect what was popular at the time in the secular world. These are not Christian books although God and prayer are both briefly mentioned.

Overall, I give them a big thumbs up. If you or your daughter like these kinds of books, they are well worth checking out. I plan on reading all of the stories that are available in the series whether Caroline takes to them or not. Or if you would like to add some stories to your history studies, these can work well. Enjoy!

100 Wholesome Books For Girls And Tweens

Finding wholesome books for girls and early tweens can be challenging. So much of what is being published today is drivel at best to downright concerning or even abhorrent. If you have a sensitive girl, it’s even more challenging. In an effort to help, I’ve compiled a list of books for girls of various ages that would fall into the category of wholesome.

What is a Wholesome Book?

Wholesome can be defined so many different ways by families so let me lay out what my criteria was in creating this list. Wholesome to me included books that featured:

Positive relationships
Fun reading
Generally lighthearted with a positive message
No serious violence (some mysteries below might imply light violence or crime)
No profanity

Wholesome in this list does not automatically mean:

Christian
Twaddle-free
Perfect children who never do anything wrong
Award-winning literature

I also want to point out that some of these books were published decades ago and therefore reflect the times in which they were written. I did not review them for what would be considered politically incorrect attitudes or language today. If you or your child are very sensitive to these issues, then you will need to review them first.

These lists are presented in no particular order. They cover a wide variety of interests and ages. There are many that would be a great addition to your study of history. (My love of history bias definitely shows up in this list!)

Sallie’s Favorite Books

Some of my favorite books are in other sections below. But first off are four books from my childhood that I loved that didn’t fit neatly into any of the other sections. Understood Betsy should be read aloud to every little girl. I just read it again myself this month and it’s so wonderful. The same with The Hundred Dresses. Caddie Woodlawn is a classic. I haven’t read The Janitor’s Girl in forever, but it is one book I loved as a child.

Caddie Woodlawn Understood Betsy The Hundred Dresses The Janitor’s Girl

Mouse Scouts

Mouse Scouts is a newer and adorable series. These stories are both fun and educational. They include cute illustrations throughout.

Mouse Scouts Mouse Scouts: Make A Difference Mouse Scouts: Camp Out

Owl Diaries

Owl Diaries is a newer, colorful series. Caroline has enjoyed these.

Eva’s Treetop Festival: A Branches Book (Owl Diaries #1)Eva Sees a Ghost: A Branches Book (Owl Diaries #2)A Woodland Wedding: A Branches Book (Owl Diaries #3)Eva and the New Owl: A Branches Book (Owl Diaries #4)Warm Hearts Day: A Branches Book (Owl Diaries #5)Baxter is Missing: A Branches Book (Owl Diaries #6)The Wildwood Bakery: A Branches Book (Owl Diaries #7)Owl Diaries, Books 1-5: A Branches Box Set

Cobble Street Cousins

I’ve mentioned the Cobble Street Cousins before because Caroline absolutely adores these books. We’ve read this series aloud many, many times. They are sweet stories about three cousins who live with their Aunt Lucy for a year.

In Aunt Lucy’s Kitchen Summer Party A Little Shopping Special Gifts Some Good News Wedding Flowers

Nancy Clancy Series

If your daughter loved Fancy Nancy books like mine did (see her sixth birthday party!), she might enjoy the next step up – Nancy Clancy. These are cute mystery stories perfect for girls. Caroline enjoyed these books.

Nancy Clancy, Super Sleuth Fancy Nancy: Nancy Clancy, Soccer Mania Fancy Nancy: Nancy Clancy, Star of Stage and Screen Fancy Nancy: Nancy Clancy Seeks a Fortune Fancy Nancy: Nancy Clancy, Secret of the Silver Key Fancy Nancy: Nancy Clancy Sees the Future Fancy Nancy: Nancy Clancy: My Secret Diary Fancy Nancy: Nancy Clancy, Secret Admirer Fancy Nancy: Nancy Clancy, Late-Breaking News!

Trixie Belden Mysteries

I loved, loved, loved Trixie Belden when I was a girl. David read the entire series aloud to Caroline and when they were done she asked to go through the entire series again! (Yes, they are!) Some of the books you can get new on Amazon, but if you want to read the entire series you will have to track down some of them used on Amazon, ebay, the library, etc.

The Secret of the Mansion The Gatehouse Mystery Trixie Belden and The Mysterious Visitor The Red Trailer Mystery Trixie Belden and The Mysterious Code Trixie Belden and The Mystery Off Glen Road The Mystery in Arizona The Mystery of the Emeralds The Mystery on Cobbett’s Island The Black Jacket Mystery The Happy Valley Mystery

The Shoes Series

I have not read the Shoes series, but I know they come highly recommended.

Ballet Shoes Skating Shoes Dancing Shoes Theater Shoes

Betsy Tacy Books

This is another older series that follows Betsy, Tacy, and later Tib. It’s a classic set of books that will introduce girls not only to friendships, but also the history of the time. These were a favorite I need to read again!

The Betsy-Tacy Treasury: The First Four Betsy-Tacy Books Heaven to Betsy/Betsy in Spite of Herself Betsy Was a Junior/Betsy and Joe Betsy and the Great World/Betsy’s Wedding The Betsy-Tacy Companion: A Biography of Maud Hart Lovelace

All-of-a-Kind Family

All-of-a-Kind Family was one of my very favorite books as a girl. I read these so many times. Every girl should read this fun series and learn about both the family as well as the historical and cultural setting.

All-of-a-Kind Family More All-Of-A-Kind Family All-Of-A-Kind Family Downtown All-Of-A-Kind Family Uptown Ella Of All-Of-A-Kind Family

American Girl Stories

Even if you don’t purchase an American Girl doll, the stories are very well done. The historical sets offer a great way to introduce your daughter to different time periods and how people lived. David and Caroline read many (most?) of the series aloud and loved the Caroline series the most.

Samantha’s Boxed Set Felicity’s Boxed Set Kirsten’s Boxed Set Kit Boxed Set with Game Caroline’s Boxed Set with Game Rebecca Boxed Set with Game Molly’s Boxed Set Josefina’s Boxed Set Kaya Box Set

The Boxcar Children

Did you love The Boxcar Children growing up? I did! So many fun mysteries! I’ve included just a few of them below, but there are many more.

Grandma’s Attic

I haven’t read this series, but it comes very highly recommended by many. I’ve only included a sampling here. There are many more also on Amazon.

In Grandma’s Attic Still More Stories from Grandma’s Attic Treasures from Grandma’s Attic More Stories from Grandma’s Attic Sixteen and Away from Home Grandma’s Attic Treasury Stories from the Growing Years Letters from Grandma’s Attic

Flicka, Ricka, and Dicka

Brambly Hedge is a well-loved series with sweet stories and illustrations.

The Complete Brambly Hedge Adventures in Brambly Hedge Spring Story Summer Story Autumn Story Winter Story A Year in Brambly Hedge The Secret Staircase Brambly Hedge: Sea Story The High Hills Poppy’s Babies

Lois Lenski Books

I read many Lois Lenski books as a girl. Strawberry Girl and Shoo-Fly Girl were two of my favorites. Each book introduces the reader to different places throughout the United States. A great way to learn history!

Strawberry Girl 60th Anniversary Edition Shoo-Fly Girl Prairie School Houseboat Girl Judy’s Journey Flood Friday Texas Tomboy Boom Town Boy Coal Camp Girl Lois Lenski’s Christmas Stories Deer Valley Girl Candlelight Stories Puritan Adventure We Live in the City, Roundabout America We live in the North We Live in the Country

Little House: The Martha Years

The Charlotte Years are about Laura’s grandmother in Boston.

Little House by Boston Bay On Tide Mill Lane The Road from Roxbury Across the Puddingstone Dam

Miscellaneous Classic Books and Series

Here are some more long-loved classic books and series. I have not read all of them, but they are generally all very well regarded.

Five Little Peppers – The Complete Collection A Girl Of The Limberlost The Complete Adventures of the Borrowers The Complete Anne of Green Gables Collection The Penderwicks Boxed Set Daddy Long Legs Cherry Ames Boxed Set (Books 1-4)Cherry Ames Boxed Set (Books 5-8)The Ruth Fielding Series: 18 Girls’ Adventure Stories The Campfire Girls Collection: 26 Stories

The Happy Hollisters Series

The Happy Hollisters was a highly popular mystery series. I haven’t read these, but they sound like they would fit into the category of wholesome. I’ve included some of them here. There are many more on Amazon.

Happy Reading!

In Aunt Lucy’s Kitchen by Cynthia Rylant is the first book in The Cobble Street Cousins, a series of six books about three young girls.

I had no idea when I ordered them for Caroline how much they would come to mean to her. This series of books has an honored place on her bookshelves.

In Aunt Lucy’s Kitchen

The Cobble Street cousins are Lily, Tess, and Rosie. They are staying with their Aunt Lucy for a year while their parents are on a professional dancing tour around the world.

The girls have cozy adventures together while sharing the huge attic in Aunt Lucy’s old home. Each girl is interested in different activities, but they all bring their unique take on life to their time together.

This series of books is simple and cheerful. The girls get involved with their aunt’s romance and there are many sweet surprises along the way.

Caroline’s absolute favorite in the series is A Little Shopping which involves the girls working on miniatures and a dollhouse. The series includes:

If you are looking for a cozy and sweet series of books, definitely check out In Aunt Lucy’s Kitchen.

If you would like a lovely gift version of the entire series, this would be perfect!

The Long Winter {Homeschooling with Cozy Books}

The Long Winter by Laura Ingalls Wilder is a must-read American pioneer children’s novel. It is one of my favorite novels in the Little House series.

My husband, David, didn’t read the Little House books growing up and decided to read them all a few years ago. He thoroughly enjoyed them! So you are never too old to add them to your collection whether it is to read them for yourself or read them to your children.

The Long Winter

The Long Winter tells the story of the Ingalls family surviving the epic winter of 1880-1881. And I do mean surviving and I do mean epic. They nearly starved to death when the trains could not get through to De Smet, South Dakota, due to the massive amounts of snow that fell in blizzard after blizzard after blizzard.

(For a photo and more info, see The Meteorology of Little House on the Prairie.)

I know nearly starving to death doesn’t sound terribly cozy, but there is much to be gleaned from the story.

Perseverance, resourcefulness, family, and community are all significant themes in the book. There is a warmth that shines forth in The Long Winter even during the darkest of times.

I highly recommend reading The Long Winter with your children as part of the entire Little House series.
