exquisite

Even more delightful than I remembered. My seven-year-old daughter adored the story and laughed so much she was bouncing on the couch. It was the perfect book for her, too, since she is the kind of little girl who likes to shepherd younger kids around and fully believes she would rescue them all from danger should the occasion arise.

A childhood favorite. Purchased so I can share with nieces.

I read this one long ago! I am sure that my Grandma Hansen gave it to me for Christmas! When your grandma is a librarian you get a lot of really good books for every holiday and special occasion! I love the this story because it is so intense. I think it is great how the older girls are so resourceful and work together to take care of the little children. And then to have a happy ending! Even better! It almost sound like a fun adventure to have!
