Aunt Minnie lives by herself. She has her own system of doing things. Suddenly, she must take in her orphaned nieces and nephews. Aunt Minnie is able to tame this brood with her system. A system that is silly and touching at the same time. This book would be a great gift for a favorite aunt.

My family enjoyed the book very much. We live right across the road from where the General Store use to be in St. Clere, Kansas and are familiar with the McGranahan family. My kids are 32, 28 and 17 years old. We knew four of the nine children that Aunt Minnie raised, so this made the books more interesting. We also enjoyed Aunt Minnie and the Twister. Both books made very interesting Christmas presents for kids. Keep the stories coming.

This is just what you expect, a sweet story about a woman with her huge passel of inherited kids. My nieces love the story, and request it often, but every time I get to the part where nobody has to wait for a hug, I start tearing up. And they fall once I find out that *sniff* every kid comes back with their family to visit when they're grown-up.

Oh well. It's the happy kind of tears, anyway.

This was an excellent book. A very true warm hearted story that describes where there is a will there is a way. The author has created a story from memories that are worth hearing about. I look forward to many more Aunt Minnie McGranahan memories..You see my maiden name was McGranahan and I to grew up near the town of St.Clere Kansas and I still live close by. I thank you Mary for sharing with readers stories of my family name.

A wonderful, warmhearted, funny story. Only Mary Skillings Prigger could tell this true story of nine children being orphaned as a delightful tale of how their loving, no-nonsense aunt reared them. And surely only aunt Minnie could have done it. We are hoping for more books from Prigger and Lewin!
