5.0 out of 5 stars A Little Girl Will Never Forget This Book, July 8 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Nancy and Plum (Hardcover)

My sister and I read this book when we were little girls and never forgot it, we still talk about it! When we had daughters of our own we shared this book with them. I read it twice to my 3 girls and now that I have 5 grandaughters, their mothers' can hardly wait until they are old enough to experience the joy of Nancy and Plum.

5.0 out of 5 stars A memorable and heartwarming book from my childhood, Jun 16 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Nancy and Plum (Hardcover)

I've been searching for this book for years, and am so happy it has been re-published! Nancy and Plum really captured my imagination when my teacher read it to my fourth-grade class in the mid-1960's. Later I checked it out of the school library to read again and again. The book has a magical quality. It's a little bit Orphan Annie, Little Princess, and all those Shirley Temple movies about beleaguered orphan girls with sunny attitudes rolled into one. This was one of my favorite books, and I can't wait to share it with my two girls!

5.0 out of 5 stars NANCY & PLUM TAKES ME BACK, May 1 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Nancy and Plum (Hardcover)

My fourth grade teacher, Miss Morris, read this book to our class in 1960. We were all mesmerized and couldn't wait for reading time everyday to find out what adventure Nancy & Plum were in for this day. They were truly inspirational children. No matter what happened to them, they could find humor and gratitude in all things. I found this book again in 1990, when I called the publisher and they gave me the number of Betty MacDonald's daughter. We chatted and she sent me her personal copy. I was thrilled. My daughter, now 22, has cherished this book, as well, since she first read it. Nancy & Plum takes me back to a time when life was innocent and uncomplicated, times were good and fourth grade was the best place to be!
