Caddie Woodlawn

9 year daughter loved it

I asked my daughter if she liked the book as much as her Little House on the Prairie books and she said YES! Better than!

Becoming a Family Tradition

We read this book to our children in the late 1980's. We laughed out loud many times and loved some of the phrases so much they became favorites for some of our own situations.
I wanted to read it to our granddaughter during this summer vacation, but couldn't find our old copy (one of the kids probably took it with them when they moved out). So I ordered a new copy.
This spunky, loving, adventurous heroine is a refreshing role model and a delightful narrator.

Great Heroine, Great Story

This book was required reading for me in elementary school in Chicago in the 80's. I loved it then and when my third grade daughter brought home a historical novel assignment, I immediately thought of Caddie Woodlawn. My daughter is a tomboy and I knew she would relate to Caddie. Because I wanted to read it again myself and because I expected there would be some vocabulary and points that required some explanation or discussion, I chose to read it aloud to her. We are both enjoying this book thoroughly and highly recommemd it.

After 50 years . . .

It is time for me to reread this one. I am 60 years old and remember reading this book when I was a young girl - and I rarely read books by choice in those days! I remember the adventurous Caddie, along with her brothers and the Indians, and I thought Caddie's father was the most wonderful man in the world. When my daughters were young, I insisted that they read it also, but I think it made less of an impact on them than it did on me. A great book and a great look look at American frontier life in the 1800s.

Really Good

I really liked Caddie Woodlawn. It really went deep into details and showed what a tomboy growing up during the pioneer lifestyle with the Indian tribes, and Indian John, and always playing with her brothers! I liked it.

This story takes place in 1864, on the Wisconsin frontier.
The book follows the adventures of a certain girl, named Caddie Woodlawn. She is a tomboy, who likes to run around wildly with her two brothers, rather than staying inside and doing the tasks that are expected of her, like sewing, knitting, and cooking, with her mother and her older sister, Clara.

Living in territory where Indians are nearby, excitement is always brewing. There are fish to catch, rafts to paddle, fields to plow, and school lessons to learn.

Caddie's adventures were loosely based on the author's own grandmother. I think that makes the book interesting, to know that some of the events actually happened, and that the characters were based on real people.

I recommend this book for either boys or girls. I think it was quite a fun read, and good for any age.

Caddie Woodlawn is a tomboyish, eleven year old girl. She is growing up in the year 1864 in western Wisconsin. Caddie likes running wild around the Woodlawn family farm with her siblings. She dislikes quilting, sewing and other ladylike pastimes. Caddie's bravery and loyalty is tested many times.many She befriends Indian John, who everyone else fears. She also helps prevent a prairie fire. Caddie, her friends, and her family learn many life lessons in this book. I really enjoyed this book. It was very detailed, but not confusing. It was also very relateable. The Woodlawns are very realistic characters. I would recommend this book, because it is exciting and well written.

A reviewer

this book is a very good book about a girl and her two brothers, and they go through hardships and good times. I really like how you dont get tired of the book.Highly recomended

Enjoyable Book

Though this book wasn't my favorite of all times, I found it very enjoyable to read. It was magnificently written, and held useful information about the sort of life Caddie held. The way Brink described things was nice, though she didn't use large words. Of course, I could relate to Caddie in many different ways, considering that she is a tomboy, and loves to hang out with her brothers. But the fact that she was different most of all made her the lovable character and person that she is. I would recommend this to anyone who loves to snuggle up with a good book in a soft and comfortable chair, ready to read without end all night.
