Schoolhouse in the Woods (Volume 2)

The Fairchild's are my favorite Kentucky famly. The now deceased Rebecca Caudill (she died in 1989) has written a series of four books about their adventures featuring Bonnie, the youngest. There are five children, Althie, Chris, Emmy, Debby, and Bonnie. They live in northern Kentucky with their parents in a simple house. The family life portrayed in these books is warm, realistic, funny, and touching. Bonnie's disappointment when she gets a sunbonnet instead of a hat, their pet goose, ice skating on the pond, going to the schoolhouse in the woods, are told through her eyes with a fresh spirit and a sense of joy.I love all four books about the Fairchilds.

The Fairchild family of Appalachia people these stories. The work of Rebecca Caudill is often likened to the stories by Laura Ingalls Wilder: they are contemporaries. This quartet of stories by Caudill is for a slightly younger audience than the Wilder series.The 3rd book in this quartet of stories, called UP AND DOWN THE RIVER, is an outstanding story and worth wading through the 2 prequels.

A favorite from my 3rd grade year.
