My daughter really enjoyed this book. She said it was so fascinating how they lived back then. She really liked reading about how hard the family worked and how they found gold in the hills.

My husband and I took turns reading this book to our 7 year old and 5 year old. We very much enjoyed it since we live in the Northwest. The kids were laughing at the “colorful” description of panning for gold.

We really enjoyed this cute little book! It was a read aloud for our girls! Our 6 year old really enjoyed it and it made her think about things from “back in the day” as she puts it!
Details:
Level 4
The two children watched and waved until the figures grew smaller and smaller. At last the big, white-topped wagon rolled slowly around a bend in the dusty road. Then they could no longer see their old farm.
Daniel and Betsy blinked their blue eyes before they looked at each other. Pa had said that they must not cry when they left their nice farm. They must be happy all the way down the wide valley and across the Cascade Mountains. They must smile as they went up, up into the Blue Mountains of eastern Oregon.
