At age 11, Caddie Woodlawn is the despair of her mother and the pride of her father: a clock-fixing tomboy running wild in the woods of Wisconsin. In 1864, this is a bit much for her Boston-bred mother to bear, but Caddie and her brothers are happy with the status quo. Written in 1935 about Carol Ryrie Brink's grandmother's childhood, the adventures of Caddie and her brothers are still exciting over 60 years later.

Katje, the Windmill Cat
Submitted by SarahKate on Wed, 11/07/2007 - 16:19.SarahKate's Notes:
Katje is the miller's cat, catching mice and keeping him company
happily. Then one day, brings home his bride and everything changes...
This is a story of bravery and devotion, with this little cat as a
hero. Our (then) 3 year old requested this several times, even though it seems a
bit long for her. I like this story for it's historical value, it's
fascinating to think of how people lived and married.

Just as lava destroys and creates new land, this touching story of a kitten forced to flee his home by Kilauea's eruption teaches that "nothing ever dies -- it only changes form."

At last, Henry Huggins's father has promised to take him fishing, on one condition. Henry's dog, Ribsy, has been in all sorts of trouble lately, from running off with the neighbor's barbecue roast to stealing a policeman's lunch. To go on the fishing trip, Henry must keep Ribsy out of trouble -- no chasing cats, no digging up lawns...and no getting anywhere near little Ramona Quimby, the pest of Klickitat Street.

Nothing ever happens to Henry Huggins. Nothing, that is, until a stray dog named Ribsy comes into his life. Pretty soon, Henry and Ribsy are wreaking havoc on the city bus, getting a ride in a police car with sirens wailing, and winning a prize at the dog show. Thanks to their joint shenanigans, Henry finds himself covered in green paint one day, and later accidentally colors Ribsy's fur pale pink. One week, Henry catches earthworms for his fisherman neighbor to raise money for a borrowed ball Ribsy helped him lose. One football costs a lot of earthworms--1,395, to be exact.
