This was written with so much heart, Lousia May Alcott is quickly becoming my favorite author. ( )

Review from my 13 year old:

I liked it, my favorite characters were Stuffy and Nan’s friend. I liked the little cook stove and when Dan decided to ride the horse. ( )

Sometimes bordering on preachy, and often saccharine sweet - but that's how it should be. Lovely little book with great characters, made me laugh out loud several times.

Sometimes you just need something sweet and funny, and this is perfect for those moments. If you liked Little Women, you'll like this too. ( )

I really enjoyed the story, but the audiobook was not well edited. There are LOTS of places where the reader repeats herself and it was not edited out. ( )

Loved this book.. Made me cry a couple of times.. any book that can make me feel emotions like happy or sad is high on my list. I love the way it takes me to a "simpler" time in Life. When people had less things and more Heart. ( )

The third book about the March family and their friends.
With two sons of her own, and twelve rescued orphan boys filling the informal school at Plumfield, Jo March (now Jo Bhaer) couldn't be happier. But despite the warm and affectionate help of the whole March family, boys have a habit of getting into scrapes and there are plenty of troubles and adventures ahead.
