The Littles by John Lawrence Peterson, John Peterson

4.0

Read this whole series (13 books) out loud to 6.5yo. She loved them. I enjoyed them, too, actually. They were perfect for imaginative kids. Just enough adventure and not too much scariness. Although gender roles are somewhat dated, there are strong, smart characters of all ages and both sexes. I liked the inter-generational relationships. Plus, they essentially homeschool (brought to forefront mostly in "The Littles Go to School").

I could definitely have done without the Terrible Kid (of course she's really just misunderstood and needing love) and New Friend.

I definitely suggest getting the companion book "The Littles" by William T. Little. It's so much fun to look at the cross sections of the various tiny peoples' homes.

2018 - Reading now to the other kid, 7yo.
