Sammy

This is a cute book that read like a true classic. It reminds me about the good ole days but doesn’t feel like it was written a long time ago.

This chapter book is wonderful. I really like the time period it covers. The characters in the book work hard and live very simple lives. It helps plant gratitude for the things that we have and take for granted. The main character really just wants a pair of shoes, one pair of pants, and one shirt.

May Justus is such an amazing story writer! This sweet story of Sammy includes the beauty of family love! Also hard work, friendship, and perseverance are part of this fun story. My kiddos especially love the “songs”!!

At first I was put off by some of the old language that we don’t use, but then as we kept reading I didn’t mind it and even found it interesting. The story is cute and simple. My kids enjoyed it and loved that there was printed music included so we could hear the tune at the piano.

We’ve read a lot of the Good and the Beautiful books and most of them are wonderful. This one is not one of my favorites. It is nicely written and has a great message, but I chalk this up to personal preferences, it just isn’t a favorite for me. My kids enjoyed it and we have actually read it three times, because the message is good. I would still recommend it to anyone who reads a loud to their children.
