I'm the mom of four, one in college, one in high school, one in her terrible twos and one brand new. I'm also a college student. My favorite hobbies (aside from the mom stuff) are reading, sewing and photography. Wait, that is mom stuff!
Cute farm animals, power and politics, it's all in there. This book is one that nearly all school kids end up reading at some time or another. Good thing it's a good book!
The first time I read this was in 1980. I read it again recently and it didn't have the same effect, but it was still a good book. It's weird how this book was written so long ago and so much of it is true today!
