Description

Rediscover this Newbery Medal–winning classic, a favorite of generations. Strawberries—big, ripe, and juicy. Ten-year-old Birdie Boyer can hardly wait to start picking them. But her family has just moved to the Florida backwoods, and they haven't even begun their planting. "Don't count your biddies 'fore they're hatched, gal young un!" her father tells her.Making the new farm prosper is not easy. There is heat to suffer through, and droughts, and cold snaps. And, perhaps most worrisome of all for the Boyers, there are rowdy neighbors, just itching to start a feud. The land was theirs, but so were its hardships.Teachers, grandparents, and homeschooling families continue to reach for Lois Lenski's Strawberry Girl. As one fan commented, a reason for its continued success is that it's "a touching, realistic tale of the power of neighborly love and kindness." Read more

    • A Sweet Must Read!
Format: Paperback
I read this book for the first time several years ago when I did homeschool with my children. It was in our curriculum and it is one of the sweetest stories! We loved it so much. The first year we read it we made it a tradition and read it every year. During our school time. My children are grown and in the early twenties and we all three have such sweet memories. I bought them a copy of this for Christmas this past year. They were both. So excited! ... show more

    • Wholesome sweet perfection
Format: Paperback
This book is the second book in a Regional series of books written by Lois Lenski in 1945. It was the intention to capture the life of families and girls in their day to day life in the early 20th Century. This specific book follows a family as they make a life for themselves in Central Florida. What I liked: 1. The Story: There's something about a simple story and the description of the simple lives of children. Lenski spends the time to describe a Hen and her chicks and then turn around in the same chapter and talk about the brutality of fire. 2. The illustrations: The book has about 30 illustrations through out the book and were all drawn by the author. 3. The message: As a Christian I was amazed (and encouraged) to see how the conflict is resolved in this book. You don't see books that have a strong Christian(or any other religion for that matter) find literary success, but this book does it, and does it well. What I didn't like: 1. Ms. Lenski tried to be as authentic as she could with the telling of this book, down to the dialect the people spoke. It took some getting used to while reading, and while I appreciate her desire to be true to the people and the time, I think young readers will struggle with it today. This would be a great book for 9-10 year old readers. Strawberry Girl won the Newbery Medal in 1946 ... show more

    • Thoughtful, regional story about life in Florida, in the 1940's
Format: Paperback
I remember being encouraged by a school teacher to read this story when I was a youngster. At the age I was then--early in elementary school--I was confused by regional references in the story, and I remember not liking the book very much. My young granddaughter, who is kindergarten age, enjoyed the story, however. Her mother read her snatches of The Yearling, and that reminded me of Strawberry Girl, which is set in Florida. The story details conflicts between neighbors, with a resolution that includes religious involvement. Strawberry Girl is an interesting, worthwhile story--I would comment, the strong religious component of the story does lend to having discussions with your child--the issues detailed in the story are fairly complicated for a very young reader--some might say, the values depicted are "old fashioned".

    • Great classic for kids
Format: Paperback
I read this book as a child and ordered this copy for a grandchild. The gift of books allows children to discover historical information in a fun way and also helps kids to realize kids have an easier life these days but with different challenges. Glad they have printed an anniversary edition. Lois Lenski books are lovely. While ideal for a nine year old child, book levels can vary just as reading ability can vary with kids plus vocabulary levels with children are so different too. I assume this will be an easy read for my grandchild and she may learn new vocabulary words based on the time period of the story. ... show more

    • great read for a child or an adult revisiting childhood books
Format: Paperback
I read this as a girl- even did an oral book report and a shoe-box diorama with clothespin dolls. I'm retired now and reading some of the books I liked as a kid. I'd recommend sharing this book with a child. The life described was foreign to me as a kid, but knowing about other people/places/times is good for a child for many reasons. The story-telling still holds up. ... show more

    • Middle of the pack Newbery Winner
Format: Kindle
A decent solid story. Very "white" perspective on frontier Florida, and therefore a little dated. We are reading all the Newbery Award winning books we can get. I would say this isn't as good as Caddie Woodlawn, but is a lot better than Waterless Mountain.

Why read Lois Lenski? Her regional series describes a time and place few remember. It’s written so well and it’s a wholesome story. I’m a private librarian, and this book is very requested. I have a paperback so I was praying for a hardback but that meant collecting and that is costly. I’m shocked and hope they begin printing the whole series. The binding is amazing! The slipcover is true to the original. The illustrations are lovely and clear. The price is phenomenal! I rarely give five stars but this is absolutely worth it! ... show more
