Oh, I loved this book! I am 64 years old and have in the past year been re-reading books I enjoyed as a young girl, as well as some that I missed reading, like Caddie Woodlawn. Revisting some of these books and discovering others have helped me to reconnect with the girl I was who was addicted to reading---and still am! If I had a granddaughter to share books with, Caddie Woodlawn would be at the top of the list!

Caddie Woodlawn is a classic from my childhood which I wanted my granddaughter to read, and she loved it.
My grandkids were pleased.
Glad it’s still in print.
The book came in great condition.
This is an enjoyable bedtime chapter story that is read aloud every night to our young grandchildren. For our family, the characters are realistic and considered a better story Little House on the Prairie.
This is a beloved book from my childhood; I read it numerous times from about ages 8 to 10 and always loved it. I introduced it to my own daughter when she was in second grade. (She checked it out from the library at school so often that they told her she could no longer check it out!!) I then purchased her her own copy, which she has read--and loved--many, many times.
I wanted to revisit these wonderful characters again this winter--and I loved it once more.
It is a timeless book, and one you will cherish.
4.5 stars I read this with my children and they moaned when I first brought it out. A few chapters in, though, they changed their minds. Caddie is quite a character. In 1864, Caddie is 11 and runs around with her brothers, Tom, 13, and Warren, 9. The family lives in Wisconsin and when they arrived, she and her sister Mary, were quite frail. Mary died so her father asked her mother to let him try an experiment. He wanted Caddie to run wild with the boys rather than learn to be a lady indoors. So she's raised as a tomboy and she and her brothers get into quite a bit of mischief.

There are fun stories about their adventures with the Indians, the Circuit Rider (traveling minister), Uncle Edmund's visit, school and just life in general living in the wilderness.

We especially enjoyed the chapter where her brother, Tom, made up a story. Caddie, Warren and Tom were plowing the field so to make it more interesting, one of them would plow while the other two sat by the fence and made up stories. Tom was the best storyteller so both Warren and Caddie wanted to hear his story. The main character in his story had some character flaws and we had a good discussion on him.

Since it was first published in 1935 (and written about like in the 1860's), the times were quite different than today. We had some good discussions on what was better about that time and the conveniences we have today that make life easier. It was also good to see the similarities and see that human nature is the same over time. There's a part where Caddie wants to run away and my daughter has wanted to do that a few times so it was good for her to see that even children that lived a long time ago had some of those same feelings and we were able to see how Caddie worked through her feelings. The family has a big decision to make towards the end. We each guessed what they would decide and were surprised somewhat by the outcome.
