I can't BELIEVE this book in listed here. Loved it as a child, can't wait to read it to my kids.
it is a great tale.i love this book.it made tears come to my eyes.
This was one of my absolute favorite books as a child.
I will never forget reading this book in the 4th grade. This was the first book that ever made me sob. I absolutely loved it and became so engrossed with the characters.
I just recently re-read it out loud to my twin 9-year-old daughters and it was just as good as reading it the first time. My daughters and I laughed and cried throughout the story. Bristle Face is truly unforgettable.

I read this book every year of my elementary school life --those that I could read, of course-- and have never forgotten it. I would love to go back and see what my opinion is now that it's been awhile. I remember it very, very fondly.
A book I always remembered fondly from my childhood.
One of my favorite books from my childhood. Can't wait to read it to Sarah in a couple of years!
