Schoolhouse in Woods

By Rebecca Caudill

Book Overview

Upstairs on the long rod, hung all the new clothes Mother had been making for school... Bonnie slipped off her faded, everyday dress, took the pink dress from the rod, and put it on. By trying very hard, she could button all the buttons in the back... "Bon-nee!" came Mother's voice from downstairs. "Coming!" called Bonnie as she jumped into her faded everyday dress, and ran down the stairs. At the dinner table everyone talked about school. "I'm going to finish my bat after dinner," said Chris. "Andy Watterson is making a ball. If we go to school early enough Monday morning, we can play a game of ball before the bell rings." "I'm going to sit with Janie Sawyer," said Debby. "We planned it yesterday." "Ellen Watterson and I are going to ask Miss Cora to let us erase the blackboards," said Emmy. "I'm going to ask Miss Cora to let me teach a class some day when she's busy," said Althy." "What are you going to ask Miss Cora to let you do, Bonnie?" asked Mother. "Everything," said Bonnie.

Customer Reviews

Althy, Emmy, Chris, Debbie and Bonnie's adventures

This series of books (Happy Little Family, Up and Down the River, Schoolhouse in the Woods and Schoolroom in the Parlor) is a wonderful set of stories about five children and their adventures. My friends and I affectionately refered to them as the "Bonnie books" and they will be enjoyed by those who love the Little House books, The Saturdays' series, the Sydney Taylor series (All of a Kind Family) and the current American Girl phenomenon. Highly recommended!
