Summary: One of the best books to read aloud
Comment: I have read Little Britches and its sequel, Man of the Family to my 6th grade history students and to my 4th grade students for five years now. I have found that the story holds the attention of both girls and boys. My students have been able to make connections with other items we have read in history. The story is full of excellent values without being preachy. Basically, it is a well told first person narrative of life in the American west in the 1910's. A great book to read outloud to children or to read with children.

Summary: Build Your Character House
Comment: If a classroom full of students with BEHAVIOR problems can sit through this book without incident, you can imagine how compelling this story is.
Little Britches is the first book in an autobiographical series. Ralph Moody (aka Little Britches) tells us about his family's move from the East and their struggles and triumphs as they scrape a living from a ranch in Colorado. Ralph is 9 years old, with an older sister and several younger siblings. The book is much more than a chronology of interesting and exciting events-- much more. It is rich in the values of honesty, family unity, ingenuity, and the pride of doing a task well.
There are many strong messages about building character -- earning trust, earning respect, and giving a man a good day's work. Ralph's wonderfully wise father is his primary teacher regarding the building of Ralph's "character house", but along the way Ralph meets other memorable men -- "Hi" the cowboy was our favorite. Ralph gets in several predicaments, doesn't always make the right choice, but takes to heart his father's wise counsel.
This book is a true treasure. I would recommend it for ages 5 and up as a read aloud. 10 and up to be read alone. A great read for adults too -- a "can't miss" present. Don't hesitate -- put it in your library and then share the gift of this wonderful author.

Summary: Little Britches: Father and I Were Ranchers by Ralph Moody
Comment: We read this book as a family one summer when my children were young. Every night they couldn't wait to read more in the book. We ended up reading several more of the series. We all enjoyed this book and the ones to follow immensely. They are a wonderful series to read aloud. Fascinating and heart warming. I hope to read them to my grandsons. I think I have a copy of every book Ralph Moody wrote. I recommend this for all ages.
