Rating:  Summary: simple but satisfying Review: Although this book lacked detail, the morals and themes of it was the important part. It centers a lot around family and is a real "feel good" book for people of all ages. Probably one of the better books for families to read together.

Rating:  Summary: This Was Great! Review: I liked this book because Caleb and Anna's Pa put an advertisement in the paper for a wife, and Sarah Elizabeth Wheaton from Maine responded. To find out what they did on the prairie with Sarah, read the book!
Rating:  Summary: A Tale to Hear Review: This book teaches us about getting along. When Anna and Caleb's dad advertises for a wife and Sarah comes, they get a lot of practice with getting along.When they got along really well, they didn't know if she (Sarah) was going to stay. To find out if she stays or not. Read the book!
Rating:  Summary: Not My Favorite Book Review: I gave this book a four rating because it wasn't interesting enough. I like to read books that have adventure. (Maybe Sarah could have gone on a river raft) This book didn't have pictures to help you use your imagination about the story. Also this book isn't one of my favorites, but it isn't one of my least favorites either.
Rating:  Summary: Sarah Plain and Tall Review: This book was cool because it's about two kids, Anna and Caleb. They are very kind, but pesky kids. But still their dad loves them so. One day their father puts and advertisement in the newspaper. The children wanted a mom very much, but they don't know who they will meet! I wouldn't tell you the ending...so good bye for now!
Rating:  Summary: Sharah Plain and Tall Review: Do you like action, comic and a little bit of romance if you do, read the book Sarah Plain and Tall because it is a great book. The book is about a man that puts an ad in the newspaper saying that he is single and he would like a wife. Then Sarah comes along. When Sarah gets there she is so sad because she missies her family. A big storm comes along after she gets there and her and the family stays in a barn for the night. If you want to know more about the book there is only one more thing to do. GO GET THE BOOK!. I highly recommend this book to all ages.
Rating:  Summary: Wow , this book was great!!!!! Review: I found this book charming and delightful,I guess it was the anxiety that Anna and Caleb had make Sarah feel at just at home in order to make there father happy and to grow with a loving caring mother just like Sarah.Im glad they tried there best to make her feel at home I would too if were to meet a woman like Sarah that would make such a perfect mother.I think the author did a great job she made me feel as if actually there with Anna and Caleb trying to make a perfect home.
Rating:  Summary: A Small Book with a Big Heart Review: Caleb and Annie are two young children who have had no mother for several years. Then one day, Sarah, a lady from Maine, answers an advertisement their father, Jacob, put in a newspaper, giving new hope to the family of three. Will she be the one to fill the emptiness in their hearts and the silence in their home, at last? Some adjustments _will_ have to be made first. Sarah has to get used to living away from the ocean that she has known and loved all her life. Jacob has to get used to having a headstrong wife who is just as good at carpentry as he is. The children have to get used to a new and unorthodox mother. Yet their hope that everything will work out always shines through. "Sarah, Plain and Tall" is a story about people learning to live together and become a family simply because they've grown to love each other. It is also about seeing both new things with old eyes and old things with new eyes. The reader will enjoy this short, joy-filled period in the lives of these characters, whether they are learning how to swim, sliding down haystacks, or tossing cut hair to birds. Patricia MacLachlan uses very simple language, which only highlights her poet's gift of saying volumes and painting landscapes with a few well-chosen words. The images in the novel are as potent as images in poetry, even though everything is in prose. Every last word is meaningful. I need only think of "Sarah, Plain and Tall" to remember that sometimes the simplest children's stories are the best.
