Sarah, Plain and Tall Audio Collection Audiobook (Unabridged)

" The Hallmark Hall of fame movie is also really good "

" Loved this beautifully written story. My 3rd grader and I read it as a bedtime book together and it was hard not to read it all in one night. We both loved it. "

" I loved this book. I read it for a challenge at my school - we were challenged to read some Newbery winners, and I had never read this one. "

" I LOVED the Hallmark movie and while this was different (you can probably read the book in lees time than it takes to watch the movie) I still enjoyed the book. I liked how Sarah was looking for ways to find happiness in her new home and how quickly the children latched onto her. "

" gentle and calming, a nice book. "

" I loved this story. A man with 2 children mail orders a bride. Told from the perspective```` of the daughter. It is a sweet story, and was pleased to see it was a Newbery Medal winner. "

" My kids loved this series! "

" Fabulous book for 9 year olds "

" Wonderful! Simple writing, but MacLachlan did a great job of conveying the children's hopes and fears. "

" Not sure how many stars to give this one. I remember reading it in Elementary and spotted it when I was reading through the Newbery Award list. "

" Set in the late 19th century, this book is about a widowed midwestern farmer with two children, Anna and Caleb. The farmer advertises for a wife, and Sarah, from Maine, responds. A sweet, simple story. "

" I read this one aloud to my kids while they sat around after school refusing to do their own reading. They actually listened and enjoyed it, as did I. "

" Read to Kayla and Trevor "

" I know that this is a children's book, but I found this book to be as magical as the hallmark movie. I could read this over and over again. It was just so heart-warming. "

" Sarah, Plain and Tall - Patricia MacLachlan (Harper Trophy 1985) is a very sweet story about families - what it takes to form one, and our expectations of ourselves and others. A short and gentle classic about bonding. This book won the Newberry Medal. 7/10 "

" I thought this book was cute. It was short and to the point but I thought it was pleasant. "

" I remember reading this book over and over when I was about 10-12. I just loved the story, characters, and setting. This is definitely a book worth reading whether your 11 or even if your older. "

" I read this when I was younger and its a very sweet story. Very enjoyable. "

" I forgot how wonderful this book is. Reading it as a short story rather than a children's book made it more poignant. "

" wow i read this in grade 3 and it was kinda dumb kinda good for a 3 year old reading level... i guess "

" Wonderful Story that takes place in the United States around 1910. Great read for children as well as adults! "

" This is an easy and enjoyable read - I had read this book before but it had been many many years ago and I had forgotten much. It is a wonderful story! "

" Read this in grade school. Remember liking it. "

" I'm not sure how I escaped elementary and middle school without reading this book. I was very touched by the characters; they made me long for a world with people pure in heart. Best of all, it was based on a story from the author's family history "

" I still don't understand how a book that's only 58 pages long can be one of the best romances ever written. "

" All I know is that while reading this book as a first grader I kept on asking myself "what is the point?". "

" A classic story for young readers. I think kids need to know about simpler times, right?! "

" Sweet, short book. Somehow I managed not to cry at the end. "

" Read it with my son's reading group at school. Sparse, beautiful prose and true feelings. Loved it! "

" I used this book during my PTLS lessons. I used it to introduce the way people lived during the Dust Bowl. Great book to talk about character development during that tough time. "

" Very quick read, good for 1st thru 3rd. "

" it was ok, I had to read it for school. "

" It was good. Really good! "

" An easy, fast, light read, providing insight to early pioneering life on the Plains. I'd recommend the Little House books and Caddie Woodlawn over this one though. "

" A great read aloud for my second graders. I didn't think they were very into it at first, until one day I stopped reading early and they all asked to keep going. Very cute story about the beginnings of a family who learn to love each other. "
