Welcome to Litsy!

This book is a great introduction to folktales. The illustrations are whimsical and bright. The author explains the story in a way that is easy for children to understand.

This is a good book to represent a folktale.

“The animals sensed his gentleness and trusted him.”

“As the years passed, Ohio became too crowed for Johnny…”

Johnny Appleseed by Steven Kellogg (1988). This story has color, yet dull illustrations. This book is good for the reader to see different culture and ways of living.

This was slow, and gave me slight Grapes of Wrath vibes. It felt like a modern classic with some archetypal soul-searching, and ending irony. I would recommend it for someone who likes classic novels like Steinbeck or Dickens.

My bedroom book was left at my parents' house and now my car book (AKA lunch break book) is in my bedroom and my whole life is out of whack.

I liked this, but it was a depressing story. But as with all of Chevalier‘s novels, it was well-written and good historical fiction.
