Publisher Description
This beloved Newbery Medal–winning book is the first of five books in Patricia MacLachlan's chapter book series about the Witting family.
Set in the late nineteenth century and told from young Anna's point of view, Sarah, Plain and Tall tells the story of how Sarah Elisabeth Wheaton comes from Maine to the prairie to answer Papa's advertisement for a wife and mother. Before Sarah arrives, Anna and her younger brother Caleb wait and wonder. Will Sarah be nice? Will she sing? Will she stay?
This children's literature classic is perfect for fans of Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House on the Prairie books, historical fiction, and timeless stories using rich and beautiful language, and it's a strong choice for independent reading. Sarah, Plain and Tall gently explores themes of abandonment, loss, and love.
Read the rest of the Sarah books by Patricia MacLachlan: Skylark, Caleb’s Story, More Perfect than the Moon, and Grandfather’s Dance.
Customer Reviews
It’s not fully narrated by Glenn Close and the narrator for the kids has a scratchy voice.
1. Says that it’s narrated by Glenn Close but she only reads Sarah’s parts.
2. First narrator has a higher pitched voice that I don’t enjoy...
3. I love this story, maybe I’ll listen to it during the day but definitely not to sleep to.
It’s interesting
It’s not my favorite. It’s sad. It’s interesting and it’s cool.😊 it needs to have some action. It’s boring when you don’t understand what’s happening.🥱
Awesome book
I absolutely love it it is a great way to teach kids figurative language and the book was overall pretty good
