Summary: It is about a family in the prairy that needs a mother,wife
Review: IT IS A WONDERFUL BOOK I THOUGHT !There are alot of qestions to be asked and also to be anserd.It was so touching to me.You almost feel thay you are going back in time. A lso it feels that you are there and going threw the same thing that they are going threw. When Sarah was going to town the first time I read it I thought Sarah was going to buy a train ticket to go back to Maine, but she did not go back to main afterall.I did not like the re veiw that said it was a boring book.

Rating:
Summary: Get a short history lesson while reading a family story.
Review: Kids should Sarah Plain and Tall because if they like the midwest and a farm, it would be interesting to them. If they like animals, it would be good, too, because there are a lot of animals in this book. Another reason kids should read this book is the characters. They're great! There aren't too many to follow -just Sarah, Anna, Caleb, and Papa. You get to really know their feelings. It's not too boring because you always wonder if Sarah will stay or move back to Maine. The book made me want to ask a lot questions.

Summary: The trouble with this book is there isn't much excitement.
Review: This was a boring book. A few parts were good, like when the kids were meeting Sarah and when Sarah almost left. But most of it was pretty boring. I mean, all that happens is Anna,Caleb, and Anna and Caleb's father meets Sarah, Sarah works in the house, Sarah gets used to the house, and Anna and Caleb's father marries Sarah. I mean, it's pretty predictable. I find books that are very predictable quite boring. If you like books that not much happens in, read this book. But I don't think very many people like this kind of book, so you probably wouldn't like it. It's aufully boring. So, if you love boring books, this is the book for you! Personally, I hate boring books. I also hate books that are to predictable because you know what is going to happen, so what is the point to reading it? And I don't like unexciting books 'cause you get bored with them easily. This is one of the few books I read and didn't like.

Summary: Pure, Simple, Joyous
Review: You cannot help but fall in love with each character in this book. A wonderful glimpse into a time long past when life was simple, pleasures were pure and hard times were overcome, joyous times celebrated. I laughed, cried and celebrated right along with them.

Rating:
Summary: A good book about history.
Review: What kind of a woman will answer to Anna and Calebs father's ad? Will she be kind? And if she is will she stay? That is what Caled and Anna are wondering as they eagerly make plans for Sarah, the woman that will bocome their new "mom".

Summary: Boring, Terrible, Not Good At All
Review: "Sarah, Plain and Tall" is a short and boring book. I, an eleven-year-old boy, had to read it for Accelerated Reader, and as the story progressed it became worse and worse. I thought Sarah's letters to her brother in Maine sounded like letters a four-year-old would write to their parents from camp. The book might have been better if it had been told by another character in the story, such as Caleb or Papa. I would never recommend this book to anyone, unless they are absolutely desperate for AR points. I am very surprised that it won the 1986 Newbery Medal. No offense to the author.

Summary: Sarah, Plain and Tall
Review: Sarah, Plain and Tall is a great book. This book is by Patricia MacLachlan. The book is 58 pages long. Patricia MacLachlan also wrote Through Grandpa's Eyes, Arthur, For the Very First Time, Tomorrow's Wizard, Mama One, Mama Two, Cassie Binegar, Seven Kisses in a Row, Unclaimed Treasures, The Facts and Fictions of Minna Pratt, Three Names, Skylark, and All the Places to Love. I really liked this book.
The book Sarah, Plain and Tall is about Sarah, the Maggie, Jacob, the father, Caleb, Jacob's son, and Ann, Jacob's daughter. When Caleb was born, the next day his mother died. Caleb now grew up and he was living in the fields with Jacob and Ann. Jacob came home from work and he toll Ann and Caleb he had made an advertisement in the newspaper. The advertisement said that Jacob was looking for a wife and a mother of two kids. After a couple of days, a Maggie from Maine named Sarah wrote a letter to Jacob and said she would be more than happy to be a mother and a wife. Jacob and Sarah were sending each other a lot of letters than Sarah wrote her last letter to Jacob. She said she is going to take a train to Jacob's closest train station. She said to Jacob to come and pick her up. She will be wearing a yellow bonnet. She will be plain and tall. Sarah also brought her cat Seal and presents for Ann and Caleb. When Sarah came to the house she was very happy and gave Ann and Caleb their presents. They were all very happy. She learned how to ride a horse and she played with Caleb and Ann a lot. Still, Sarah missed the sea, and the cool breeze, and her brother too, but she was happy to live with Ann, Jacob and Caleb.
I really liked how the author described the setting. One sentence the author used was "She came though the green grass fields that bloomed with Indian paintbrush, red and orange, and blue-eyed grass. When the author described the fields I pictured the field very good in my head. I was never confused where the characters were.
I also really like the author's style. I think it was very exiting. Everything was clear and there were a lot of details. I understood everything. When they were talking about the dunes at first I didn't know what a dune was so she explained it and then continued.
I thought the book was clear, exiting, great, and interesting. I really liked the book. It had a lot of feelings and emotions in it. I would really recommend this book to you. You should read it.
