Ralph Moody's Books Are Read Aloud Favorites In Many Homes
I hope you will try the whole series! We read them aloud in our home when our children were growing up, and now that they are mostly grown, they still read them on their own. Ralph Moody's books have become treasure family favorites to return to again and again.
Most recently, we have been listening to unabridged CD's of the book while in the car, a new way to enjoy Little Britches.

- I was one of the first vendors to introduce these books to the home school community back in the early 1990's. We had read them with our children, and later one we read them to my nephew who lived with us for a year. They are one of the best series you can read to families with children of varying ages. When we started bringing these to home school conventions and school book fairs, we had a chance to help many families discover them, and soon almost all the book vendors were bringing them to the conventions. We stopped the traveling in 1995, but we still have the books in our home. When we first started reading them, they were out of print and hard to find. It's wonderful that the University of Nebraska Press reprinted almost all Ralph Moody's books. Now the children who first heard the books in the 90's are growing up and reading them to a new generation.
