Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 2-3?In this adaptation of the opening chapters of Little Women, the four March sisters are disappointed that they are too poor to have their usual Christmas celebration. During the course of the story, they discover that giving is more gratifying than receiving as they focus on getting gifts for their mother and sharing their Christmas breakfast with a poor neighbor. Cheerful watercolor illustrations, done in predominantly pastel shades, and large print make the book accessible to readers about to make the transition into chapter books. However, it is doubtful whether modern readers will relate to the story's didactic message and preachy tone, and there is nothing here that will lead readers to the classic title.?Lisa Smith, Lindenhurst Memorial Library, NY

4.0 out of 5 stars
Good book for girls.,
By Sue (Mississippi) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Marmee's Surprise: A Little Women Story (Step into Reading, Step 3, paper) (Paperback)
This is a sweet book about sisters and their mother at Christmas time when their father is off fighting in a war (probably World War I). There are many acts of kindness shown between family members and friends throughout the book.
