Heartwarming & Timeless Story of Family Love

You will love this precious family and their adventures - this is just the first of several books in the series! I read my mom's tattered copy as a child and have passed on a newer copy to my granddaughter.

Aladdin classics series - beautiful series for children

I LOVE this series! They're inexpensive and beautifully made books - the black edges look classy and the covers are so well designed. There are many more than actually came up when I searched for "Aladdin Classics", and they're well worth finding!

A Classic for Every Generation

At the turn of the last century, five children and their widowed mother are left alone in the Brown House to make do in the daunting face of real poverty, with the fear of starvation always looming. And yet, the Pepper house is full of love. The five children, Ben, Polly, Davie, Joel and Phronsie, all help their mother in the day-to-day chores that make up their rough existence.True to the mores of the time, Polly helps her mother sew so she can earn her pitiful pennies as a seamstress. The older boys do odd jobs and their chores. They frequently have nothing to eat but a cold potato, and when measles strikes the house, the almost deadly consequences just about tear the family apart. But their strength and love pulls them through--just in time to meet a family that will change their lives forever.If you want your child to learn true family values, and to see and value the true spirit of giving, this is the book. Without preaching, without being cloying, without hammering the point home, "The Five Little Peppers" is a lasting testament to all that is good in people. Its charm is as strong today as it was generations ago.
