Little House by Boston Bay

(4) 4-6 Little House: The Charlotte Years series. Illustrated by Dan Andreasen. Five-year-old Charlotte learns the alphabet in school, makes a friend, plays with her clothespin doll, and helps Mama with her chores. Gradually, the War of 1812 begins to have a noticeable impact on her family's life. Charlotte's small adventures are not as memorable as her granddaughter Laura's--but readers may enjoy this picture of life in the 1800s.
