There has been almost no character in American juvenile fiction which has attained more widespread interest and affection than "Elsie." -- Ladies Home Journal, April 1893

Product Description

They had already had their half hour with mamma which made so sweet a beginning of each day yet she too must have a liberal share of the eagerly bestowed caresses; while Bruno a great Newfoundland the pet playfellow and guardian of the little flock testified his delight in the scene by leaping about among them fawning upon one and another wagging his tail and uttering again and again a short joyous bark. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars I think this is a very well-written book about Elsie., May 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: ELSIE'S MOTHERHOOD, The Elsie Books 5 (Paperback)

I love all of the Elsie Dinsmore books, but this is one of my favorites. Elsie Dinsmore Travilla makes a wonderful Christian parent along with her husband Edward. Their children are not perfect, just like all of mankind, and yet they train their children in a godly way. As always, one can see how Elsie puts her faith in God, especially when the Ku Klux Klan attacks their house in the intent to harm her husband, and when her eldest child, Elsie, becomes very sick. Also, she learns to grieve for herself and for others, yet rejoice for those who are Christians and have only gone before to that wonderful place called heaven. I recommend this book to girls and ladies of all ages, mothers, married, and single.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Elsie's Motherhood, Book 5 (Original Elsie Classics) (Paperback)

"Elsie's Motherhood" is one of my favorite Elsie books. Elsie is a good mother to her children, and her children are very virtuous and obedient. I think Elsie handles her children's problems very well. I enjoyed reading this book, and it is very well-written for girls of all ages.
