What Katy Did Audiobook

" I don't know how I missed this in childhood, when I read most of the Victorian/Edwardian "good invalid" books -- Little Women, The Birds' Christmas Carol, Pollyanna -- but I guess I've read it now. Too bad about the super-preachy moralism in the last third, because the first part of the book is about real children behaving realistically, reminding me of the best of L.M. Montgomery or Laura Ingalls Wilder. The children are charming and fun, kind of like the Five Little Peppers except not poor, and I would much rather have read more about their adventures than about the School of Pain. "

" A book that inspired me as a child. A great storyline that was brilliantly told. "

" This was one of my favourtie books when I was a child and it still is. I find it to be an inspirational and uplifting story, it's one that I often think about when I'm feeling down and that I often recommend to friends who also have fibromyalgia. I still have my copy of this book and I love reading it. "

" So lovely to revisit a favorite childhood classic and find that there were two more of them (free on the Kindle!) While predictable, I was glad to re-enter Katy's world and go through Europe with her. "

" I read this book by recommendation of my sister. I'm glad I read it and I shall read the others in the series. Katy is an interesting character, I can imagine some of the readers would hate her and some love her. It has some good morals without being too preachy. Lovely book. "

" I got this book as a gift when I was in primary school and read it as a child. I have just re-read it. As a childrens story it is an entertaining, quick read. It's a classic children's book that I would recommend to any young girl. "

" ini juga buku waktu gue masih smp... "

" This ia one of children classic I always love. Until now. Inspiring. "

" I know this book is very old and was hoping it was more like "Little Women." I found it too slow and not catching my interest. Maybe it wasn't what I was in the mood for, but I just didn't find it as endearing as Alcott or Laura Ingalls Wilder. "

" I loved this book when I was young, and still love it - will introduce it to my grandaughters when they are a little older. It is possible to become deeply emersed in the Carr family, although the book may be considered 'old fashioned' you could find the charecters in any modern family. "

" I read it as a child and it taught me a valuable perspective on life that I've continued to carry with me. "

" I just discovered that all the Katy books are available for free in the Kindle store! I must have read this 50 years ago, it's lovely to revisit and find it as charming as it was to me then. "

" Read & enyed as a child.. "

" The book that triggered my love for travel as a kid.. "

" A very subtle story about growing up and being good. Beautifully caricatured by Susan Coolidge. What Katy did and what she did not managed to do seem to be perched so strongly on reality and the characters on its childish innocence. "

" I read this when I was at school and loved the whole series. I am tempted to revisit them but am scared that they will not be as good as I remember! "

" Really sweet book, fans of the Anne of Green Gables series would most likely also enjoy these books. "

" Good grief, I didn't realise how much moralising and moulding this book was up to when I read it as a child. It is very much of its time and a load of nonsense, though a fun read. "

" I have only read a couple chapters in this book, but so far it is good. "

" I adore this book! Katy is a lovely character - much prefer her to Jo from Little Women for instance! "

" I liked this Katy book less than the first two. It read as more of a travelogue than a novel, and not that much happened. It was still a fun read, but I would definitely recommend the first two books over this one. "

" I read this when I was 9 and I loved it, reading and re-reading for years! "

" follies of youth. best book i;ve ever read "

" A very sweet story.... "

" Typical Victorian Story Books about classic romance. Simple and quite boring. "

" this book was a present from my grandma when i was fairly young.despite the fact that i believe she bought it purely for the name of the main character, katy. this katy, though resembles me, she is loud and rude and busy, but she always means well. i learnt alot through katy's journey. "

" hihihi...Katy rocks! "

" sekolah sakit "

" The first half of the book was entertaining enough, but the pious second half was a disappointment. "

" Waktu kecil, karakter Katy di buku ini tuh jadi inspirasi saya "

" A beautiful book about overcoming challenges you think would be impossible. Another favorite children's book. "

" Meh. First nothing happened, and then predictable things happened. "

" I didn't realise I'd skipped a book til now! "

" I was very impressed by the Katy studying the history od Europe before going there and carrying around trivia questions in the pocket. "

" Not sure if this is the edition I read. These books were a huge influence on my early life. "

" It doesn't disappoint at all though it has the most amazing prequels! My favorite from the series.. :) "

" I love the What Katy Did series. It's clean and fresh. "

" Couldn't get through it. EVERTHING was turned into a moral for little girls -_- "

" Not as enjoyable as the first two -- Katy becomes less interesting as she becomes more "perfect." "

" There is actually an edition of this book in paper back with all three books in it of What Katy Did, What Katy Did Next, and What Katy Did at School. All wonderful books and one of my favorite heart felt stories of all time. <br/> "

" Really sweet book, fans of the Anne of Green Gables series would most likely also enjoy these books. "

" Started off as enjoyable read, but ended on a rather unredeemable note; it is a kind of &quot;The Taming of the Shrew&quot; in children's form. Caddie Woodlawn turns into Elsie Dinsmore :( <br/> <br/>Really cute book cover though. "

" I have always loved this book, even as a teenager. I felt as if could relate to Katy. And when Katy was paralyzed, I too felt paralyzed and learned how to be patient and kind with her. "

" Another book that I read in elementary school, way back when. I still love Katy. "

" It was soo pretty!! Just a normal girl who goes through everyday things and still has a her own uniqueness.. It's beautiful! "

" It's mean/sad that poor Elsie gets teased by Katy and Clover. It was a good read for a classic. The bit when Katy falls of the swing is kind of expected actually. "

" Was just thinking of rereading these and must do it. Loved teh christmas bit, wanted to kick Helen. Never did like perfection! "
