This classic children's book was the first read aloud in our Core A curriculum from Sonlight.
Even though I have read it several time, it does not fail to disappoint. It is a story of 4 orphans seeking to survive on their own and not be found by their grandfather, of whom they are very afraid. I love the ingenuity of the kids as they figure out how to make a refrigerator, a ladle, and a swimming pool, among other things. I really enjoyed pointing these things out to Lillian as we read this together. I also appreciate that the kids are hard workers, all of them, which is a great encouragement to me.
The ending is a little too "happily ever after" for my taste, but as a whole I like the book very much.
5 stars for this book.
