Chloe, my 7 year old, gave this a 5. She absolutely loved Laura’s story. Rowan, my 10 year old, gave it a 3. They were both fascinated by how they lived life back then. Rowan was appalled at how little free time they seemed to have because of chores. I think it made them a bit more grateful for the relatively little they have to do now. We all loved learning about how they grew and made different foods. I loved the bit about the maple sap and syrup. So glad we chose to read these for history this year.
