In Grandma's Attic

I remember my Mom reading the first of these books to me as a child.  I wanted to read it to Alia and was pleasantly surprised when I went to order them, that there were four in the series !  I bought them all.  I started to read them to her a few years ago but they were over her head.  Then earlier this year, we started them again.  She was at just the right age.  She is 8.

I LOVED reading these to her.  They are old fashioned.  Stories told to a Granddaughter.   Set in a farming community during the times of one room school houses, pot belied stoves, buggies, and hoop skirts.  It's about childhood and fun and growing up.  It's about mischief and consequences and learning self control. 

I thought I'd let Alia tell you what she thought of the books ... in a question and answer format.

B:  Did you like these books ?

A:  Yes.

B: What did you like best about them?

A:  No
