"The narrative is colorful and interesting . . . the illustrations, one for each of the twenty brief flashbacks, are rich in texture and painted in the American folk-primitive style." -- Review

5.0 out of 5 stars A classic in our house, February 4, 2004
By "nxtmaster" (East Windsor, CT USA) - See all my reviews
This book is simply a favorite of our family. We really enjoy reading about the hard prairie life and school yard fun that William Kurelek portrays on each page. The paintings wonderfully illustrate the daily life on prairie and each are complimented with a small story. This is one of those books that you can read to your children over and over again without getting bored. I just ordered a Prairie Boy's Summer, which I am sure will be just as delightful.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Childs Point of View, July 17, 2001
By Artina A. Harkins (White Sands, NM USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book gives an interesting overview of life in the northern regions of America (Canada) during the depression era. Included are favorite pastimes and games that the children played. This book was written with the youngest generation in mind but it will be enjoyed by the older generation for the memories it stirs. I'm of a middle generation and I enjoyed it because it gave me a closer look at my parents childhood.

5.0 out of 5 stars A reminder of the past, August 10, 2007
Delightful in its simplicity but evocative in the imagery, this book is a treasure. It reminds me of the wonders of my youth growing up on the prairies. The scenes would have been just a few miles from my own family home place.
