Caddie Woodlawn (Reprint)
Caddie Woodlawn (Reprint) | Carol Ryrie Brink
Caddie Woodlawn is a real adventurer. She'd rather hunt than sew and plow than bake, and tries to beat her brother's dares every chance she gets. Caddie is friends with Indians, who scare most of the neighbors -- neighbors who, like her mother and sisters, don't understand her at all. Caddie is brave, and her story is special because it's based on the life and memories of Carol Ryrie Brink's grandmother, the real Caddie Woodlawn. Her spirit and sense of fun have made this book a classic that readers have taken to their hearts for more than seventy years.

I‘ve never read this book before and had no idea it was based in Wisconsin, the state I live in. Well here‘s to the first time reading this!

WorldsOkayestStepMom In 5th grade, my teacher gifted each of the students in my class with a copy of this book! I kept it until I went to college and read it several times. ❤️ fun memory unlocked 10mo
SayersLover My parents both enjoyed reading this aloud to the kids and it is still one of my favorites. Plus Trina Schart Hyman is such an amazing illustrator. Hope you enjoy it @Ladygodiva7 10mo

I‘ve not read this since the 1950s! But listened to the audio today, good narrator!

This story is delightful and special because it's based on the life and memories of Carol Ryrie Brink's grandmother, the real Caddie Woodlawn.

I thought I must have read a lot of books set in Wisconsin but I could only find these two- Plus Little House of course.

I went to Wisconsin once and really liked Green Bay and happening across a waterskiing show. Good times.

1. Favorite Book Set Here
I have very fond memories of my fourth grade teacher reading aloud the tagged book.
2. Recommend Places to Visit
I grew up in the WI Northwoods, which is beautiful, but for a trip I‘d recommend Bayfield. From there you can take the ferry to Madeline Island and kayaking through the Apostle Islands sea caves (pictured) is amazing!

Set in a similar period to the Little House books, but Caddie‘s family are settled and face fewer struggles. Caddie‘s father is more capable than Pa or perhaps has better luck. The conflict with the Native Americans is also perhaps treated more sympathetically. Although not a first person account, this is well written and Caddie is an engaging character. Trixie and I both thought we would choose England and the peacocks though!

After picking up the book I had on hold, I wandered into the book sale (why do I do this to myself??) and came out with these. I couldn‘t believe all of the #Newbery books I was able to snag! 🤩🤩🤓
Also sorry for the bombardment of posts: I haven‘t been on in while and am playing catch up!

keys_on_fire @ravenlee Yep! That‘s one that I bought for the #paperbackcrush challenge I issued to myself: trying to read as many books mentioned in Paperback Crush as I can! 5y

ravenlee I visited my parents recently and tried to snag Roberts‘ The Girl with the Silver Eyes from the shelf of kids‘ books, but my sister claimed it first. Strictly speaking, it was hers first, but I‘m still grumpy about it. 5y

I would use this book as an opportunity to talk about the civil war and incorporate a history lesson after!

Mehso-so

Historical Fiction. The authors sense of fun throughout the book allows children to connect to the story! The book is very detailed, creating a good image of life during the civil war and what that may have been like for Caddie growing up.

The place and weather descriptions in this book made me reaaaallly want to run around outside and play somewhere outside the city.

@jchawkins #nature #trees #treeproject

jchawkins I would run around too if it wasn't the time of year when the effort of breathing is enough to drip with sweat 😅😂 5y
Sunraven @jchawkins: Right? That‘s probably part of why it made me feel that way — talking about nice cool Wisconsin springtimes and frozen winters... 5y

Sunraven @jchawkins: 😆 I spent a couple of months in Sheboygan one winter just to see snow, but yeah, I hear it gets pretty hot in the summer ... Came back to Florida for that bit. 😉 5y
jchawkins @Sunraven Ha, yeah, I sometimes joke that I should live in Alaska because I'm most comfortable when it's 35 and snowing, and so much of the summers around here are above 80 degrees, and I go full-blown Wicked Witch of the West mode and just melt all over the place. I could never do Florida! 5y
Sunraven @jchawkins: If you need visitors in Alaska I‘d be happy to bring books. 😁 I like both beach weather and snowy weather, and probably require both for true life satisfaction. 🏝☃️

Also, fun Florida facts: It‘s always fuhreeeezing indoors in the summer (air conditioner freezing is not like snowy freezing ... much less charming), so in a way it‘s hot and cold here at the same time. 😆

jchawkins @Sunraven Ugh I hear you! I don't have AC at my place but my work has AC. So I'm at home wearing as few clothes as possible, sweating profusely, and then have to bundle up in pants/hoodie for the commute to work so I don't go numb. 😆 5y
Sunraven Sounds about right, so I might have to disagree with your earlier statement — you totally already have the skills to survive Florida, at least as far as the heat goes. 😆 5y

Well, I wasn‘t sure this book would stand up to the test of time, but I guess I had good taste as a kid. 😆 I love that Caddie knows how to plow, hunt, and fish, and that now her brothers are learning to quilt and cook and bake along with her. 💖 I also love that Caddie is friends with Native Americans and that her dad came from Britain, that the characters grow from their experiences, and ... this is trying to turn into a review. Let me shush. 😉

TheAromaofBooks I really love Carol Ryrie Brink. Have you ever read Two Are Better Than One? It's sooo adorable. 5y
Sunraven @TheAromaofBooks: I have not, but I‘ll look for it! It sounds right up my alley (and kind of like something I did with a friend around that age). Thanks for the recommendation! 😁👍✨ 5y
TheAromaofBooks I hope you are able to find it! I also always forget that I can actually tag books in comments haha 5y

First published in 1935, Caddie was a groundbreaker in her own right: loved outdoor play rather than domestic chores, made friends with the Indians, and generally considered "unladylike" ??

There are so many, many beautiful children's books that I love, and I could never choose a favorite. But Caddie Woodlawn was a big one for me when I was a little loner tomboy, looking for myself in books. #riotgrams #favoritechildrensbook

ReadingSusan Ahhh I loved this book! 8y
Andrea313 @ReadingSusan I can't even estimate how many times I read it! Did you ever read the sequel, Magical Melons? I didn't enjoy it as much, bit still worth a read. 8y
