This sequel to Little Women was published in 1871. The novel focuses on Nat Blake, a young student at the Plumfield Estate School run by Jo Bhaer and her husband, Professor Bhaer. The experiences of Nat and the other boys and girls at the school shape them into the men and women they will become.

I Also Recommend:
The "Classic Starts" books, of which *Little Men* is a part, are excellent; they do high-quality redactions of classic novels that makes these stories accessible to your emergent reader. The chapters are shortened and difficult vocabulary changed, but the spirit here of Louisa Mae Alcott's writing remains. Most importantly, so does the story itself, which is absorbing my son. If you know *Little Women,* this is the sequel, when Jo is grown up and running Plumfield as a girl's school. I'm an English professor and can't recommend the "Classic Start" series enough--the stories have an integrity about them that one just doesn't find in the series-fiction for this age group. I also appreciate that the "Classic Starts" series doesn't pitch or market these classic works to a specific gender. *Little Men* is an excellent story to begin with, made better by the clever editing of the series!

It is a good book over all but i have to say the typos made it very hard to read and understand. Many times i had to guess what they were saying.

although this is a really good book, i am really disapointed with the quality of the text. i am really upset that i have to pay for decent quality. there are so many typos that you have to guess what the basically everything says. seriously, barnes and noble, i am mad at myself for even buying a nook. when i get stuff for free it is just samples or books that were written before the 1900s that are really good books written by amazing authors but sadly i cant read them because they are filled with typos. i would rather read a REAL book ANY day. i know what i am talking about because i am a real author. so, if you have the sense to read reviews before you actually buy books, please DO NOT buy this book or any others written by this author!

Little Men is my favorite of Louisa May Alcott's books. I love it's prequel, Little Women. However, Little Men is more frought with fun, mischievous events, and childlike pleasures. It's a great book to read if you want something to divert you and get your mind off of the stress in your life for at time! Since I work with children, I appreicated the fun of the book, and the fact that the main characters were almost all under the age of fifteen!

Little Men is a sweet chapter book that provides an escape. There is no flowing storyline, it's a book filled with stories about almost each character. It will make happy, broaden the imagination and as well teach any youngster who reads it, some lessons for life. As a teenager I found this book a great read- I recommend this to everyone...

Little Men is a great book. What I like most about it is that the book is so detailed. For the chapter Crops, it tells you exactly what crops let's say Tommy, or Nan; Daisy, Demi; etc. grew. A #1 book for people who like Little Women. Definetly an A+.

It's a pretty good book- in my opnion not as well written as Little Woman/Good Wives and Jo's Boys, but still really great, (maybe I'm just romantic) This is a good book to read if you want to see how Jo, Meg, and Amy turn out.

I had just started reading the original little men book in my classroom when i found it on my nook. I was so happy because this book tells the same story as the original book but it has translated old english into modern day english.
