The Penderwicks: A Summer Tale of Four Sisters, Two Rabbits, and a Very Interesting Boy Audiobook

" We listened to this on a vacation trip in the car. The kids and I listened together and we both enjoyed the story. The relationship between the kids and the boy at the house was so sweet. I cried at the end. "

" Cute story, but not my favorite. Part of it is that I listened to it on tape and there were parts I just wanted to go faster. :) "

" Family book club selection for November 2009 - Mom's recommendation. "

" Such a good book! Children's lit - each chapter a new adventure from their summer vacation. Reminded me slightly of Mrs. Piggle Wiggle but not a "Learn Lessons" kind of book. Just interesting characters and fun little vacation days. "

" I didn't love this book, but my kids did (I read it aloud to them). I kept expecting the bad guys to have some redeeming qualities in the end. Nope: first impressions basically stand through the end of the book. Still, it was fun. "

" A must read! It creates a sense of nostalgia and a longing for your childhood. "

" A wonderful recommendation for girls who like Ivy and Bean, Little Women, Little House books, Clementine, etc. "

" we listened to this on CD during all our spring-break driving around, kept my 3, 6, and 9 year old (and me) interested the whole time. sweet and fun. "

" It was just delightful! Made me laugh, made me tear up. I loved all the sisters, especially Skye and Jane. I can't wait to read the next two books in the series. "

" It was the most adorable story of this Family. "

" REALLY GOOD BOOK WITH AND AWESOME STORY AND CORKY GIRL, JUST GREAT! "

" Nice clean sweet book but I was kind of glad when I was finished. "

" Light, funny, full of sunshine. "

" A great story of four very independent, but very loving and loyal sisters! "

" I love this book so much! I have it 8 times it is the best book ever "

" Patti... did you read this yet? LOL "

" Very sweet. A wide range of girls can enjoy this as a read-aloud because the four sisters have a wide range of ages and personalities. Plus, there's the boy. :) "

" Read out loud with the boys. I enjoyed it, but didn't love it. I think my expectations were too high. "

" great little summer read with a happy ending. "

" This is a delightful little book. I particularly fell in love with Batty and Hound. "

" It probably would have been more enjoyable if I hadn't gotten confused and read the third book in the series first. It ruined a lot of things about this one. "

" Really good for 4th and 5th graders who feel like they are reading below there grade level. "

" I trult enjoyed the characters in this book. Though there were 4 daughters, the author gave them such individual personalities that I never confused them. It was a great book to read aloud to my son and my daughter enjoyed reading it on her own. "

" AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and funny "

" Cute, quick read with that Little Women feel. Will for sure be reading the other ones. "

" I read this book a long time ago, and I simply could not get enough of it. I loved the characters, even though now they might appear to be somewhat fake, and their love for their family. I loved the subtle inclusion of a romance. I simply could not put this book down. "

" I read this and then recommended it to Vic & Joseph. This was not their absolute favorite but still it was read start to finish. The book was written with intentioanl old fashioned charm, just as I remember from my own childhood. Can we really argue w a National Book Award Winner?z "

" I love this book! It is the first Penderwick book out of the currently adding series. "

" Read for the Hawthorne Library. Very good. "

" Each of several child characters solved a problem, learned something about life, or grew in some way. Believable and enjoyable. "

" This was a fun book. As I was reading, I felt like it was a cross between Little Women and the Secret Garden. "

" This book was well-written, interesting, and original. These are pretty much my only requirements for young adult fiction, but in addition the characters were lovable and concerned with virtue. I guess there's something to be said for reading award-winners. "
