Commentary To Books Laddie: A True Blue Story

I've read this, oh, about 9 times ... and if that doesn't convince you that this is pure amazingness than maybe I should mention my favorite part ...

Like when Leon has to memorize a Bible verse for church and his mom doesn't double check to see what he chose ... and what ensues is, well, ... let's just say the congregation was never the same... 😂

Or when Little Sister goes on a tiger hunt with the unsuspecting neighbor...

The time when Leon and Little Sister read about a hanging in the newspaper and wondered what it might feel like ...

How about when the kids were told to feed the geese and yeah, it was fed very well...

Although the spelling bee was a great moment too ... oh and the wedding, and when the country school teacher arrives ...

Sigh. It'll put you in stitches. It's wonderful; read it! Then let's chat!

I finally "GET" what all the fuss is about (among my fellow home educators group) regarding this book. To quote a fellow homeschooling mom - this book has given me a higher vision for me and my family. Its absolutely FABULOUS and its a classic through and through... AND one that I will have to purchase for our own library.... Just got this through an interlibrary loan (which means I can't renew it) - which means Anna Karenina goes on the back burner while I read Laddie!

I can't say the actual story is my favorite though it is well written and entertaining. However, it has significant sentimental value. When I was in 5th grade when we lived in Iowa, we were doing a family history project and were supposed to interview a grandparent. So I interviewed my grandpa Armstrong and one of the questions was "what was your favorite book when you were a kid?" His answer was Laddie. So he got to thinking and got it in his head that he would give it to me for Christmas. So

My favorite quote in the book:"Had I life to live over, I see now where I could do more; but neighbor, believe me, my highest aspiration is to be a clean, thrifty housekeeper, a bountiful cook, a faithful wife, a sympathetic mother. That is life work for any woman, and to be a good woman is the greatest thing on earth."I loved the education the children had. The constant learning that was modeled for the children by their father and mother, and the importance they placed on that learning.

I liked this book. Maybe next time I would give it four stars. But it seemed to be a little slow until closer to the end and a lot of the book was in little sisters head. I realize that was part of the charm of it. I really did like it. I just didnt **love it

I just reread this favorite and tried to pay attention to why I like it so much. It certainly can be a bit wordy and tedious in descriptions at points, unless you Really relate to the descriptions of nature and surrounding. Which I usually do I guess. It can also be rather glorified and idealistic when describing some of the characters. But overall I think I just really admire how the family lives life. I think they live each moment to the fullest, putting their whole hearts into it. They cry

I loved some aspects and wasn't crazy about others. It reminded me of British novels with a little bit of Hardy's love of farm life and some Dickens' coming of age. A generally pleasant diversion.
